Terps After Dark is a collection of free events designed to help students build connections with each other, and to feel engaged with the larger campus community during the first part of the fall semester.
Most Terps After Dark events take place in the evening, Thursday through Saturday—but some events are also held earlier in the day, and earlier in the week. Our hope is that all Terps are able to engage with Terps After Dark, no matter their schedule. During the 2025 Terps After Dark season, events will run from August 27 through November 1.
We welcome all new and returning University of Maryland, College Park students (both undergraduate and graduate.)
All kinds! Movies, athletic events, live music, comedy and artist performances and much, much more! Plus, you can grab free food and fun giveaways at many of the events.
