Alumni Lawn is a central landmark at Vanderbilt. Here students unwind with a game of ultimate frisbee or football, catch up with friends and bask in the sun with a good book.

Each spring, just before finals, the popular "Rites of Spring" music festival takes over the lawn. The two-day event features artists as diverse as The National, Drake, The Flaming Lips, and more - as well as the best local talent "Music City" has to offer.
