The first-ever Mallard Madness festival takes over campus for five days from Wednesday to Saturday with music, food, arts and culture.
The free, student-organized festival combines the annual ASUO Street Faire with the KWVA Birthday Party and Willamette Valley Music Festival to celebrate the start of spring in Eugene.
