Gratitude potato

Join the Fun at the Gratitude Potato Golf Cart Parade & Celebration! 

Thursday, November 6 | Campus Green | 1pm - 4pm

Get ready for one of the most uplifting events of the fall quarter: The 3rd Annual Gratitude Potato Golf Cart Parade (1:00–2:30 PM) and Celebration (2:30–4:00 PM). 

It all began when a member of the Student Engagement Team, new to the U.S., asked the rest of the team why potatoes are such a big deal at Friendsgiving and every fall get-together in the U.S.

None of us really had an answer—but we did agree that potatoes deserve their own holiday. 🥔✨

So we made one! Now every fall, we cruise around campus in our golf-cart Grateful Potato Truck Rally, serving up spuds and toppings while students share what they’re grateful for.

A little gratitude, a lot of carbs, and a whole bunch of good vibes. That’s Grat-TOT-Tude!

Enjoy free tater tots, regular fries, crinkle fries, waffle fries, curly fries, sweet potato fries, and potato snacks, plus tons of potato-themed games and crafts, from sack races and hot potato to decorating your own spud! Departments and offices are decorating their golf carts and joining the parade for a chance to win the best-decorated potato-themed cart prize.

Join the golf cart parade, bring your bike, skateboard, scooter, or walk alongside the potato truck parade as it makes its stops across campus and goes back to Campus Green for a big celebration. Let’s celebrate gratitude, community, and creativity, potato style!
