MIT Moving Day
In the spring of 1916, to mark MIT’s move across the Charles, an elaborate Venetian-style barge carried the Institute’s charter from Boston to its new home in Cambridge. On Saturday, May 7, 2016, we will celebrate that historic crossing with Moving Day, an afternoon and evening of events that capture the wit, ingenuity and irreverent spirit of MIT.
Moving Day will unfold in three parts: in the afternoon, a festive “crossing” on the Mass. Ave bridge and on the river all around it; in the evening, a spectacular pageant on Killian Court; and afterward, dancing everywhere!
Crossing the Charles Parade and Competition, 2:00 PM
We invite you to gather starting at 1:00 PM around the Memorial Drive riverbank near Mass. Ave. and the bridge. No need to register to participate in the parade. Dress code: Fun!
Mind and Hand: A Pageant, 8:00 PM, on Killian Court (Seating opens at 7:45 PM, with a few appetizers for the senses before the Pageant kicks into high gear at 8:30.)
Please join us for this playful multimedia extravaganza that will bring the spirits of Mens and Manus to life.
Let’s Dance, 9:30 PM
The day ends with a series of dance parties and games at five locations across campus, each one inspired by decades of music and culture.
Full details are available on the MIT 2016 website.
