    Dillo Day is a closed music festival for the Northwestern community and their guests. You will NOT be permitted if you are under the age of 19 unless you are the registered guest of a Northwestern student or an over 25 year old chaperone. You must show one of the following at the gates in order to gain admittance to Dillo Day: a Northwestern WildCard, a State issued ID verifying that you are at least 19 years of age, or a wristband verifying that you are a registered guest. The registration page will be live on May 20th on the Northwestern Office of Student Affairs website and will list all necessary details.

    While an outdoor Dillo Day is always ideal, inclement weather can pose safety risks that force us to move the concerts indoors to Patten Gym on North Campus. In the case of bad weather, the student body will be notified the morning of Dillo Day via email. If the weather forces us to move to Patten Gym, Wildcards will be mandatory to enter the concert. Undergraduate Northwestern students ONLY. No graduate students, faculty, staff, guests, or non-students. Sorry.
