It’s the Harvard Lampoon’s
Sesquicentennial Celebration Weekend
April 24-26, 2026

Come put the “LL” in FIREBALL SHOTS!

Pretend to sing along to the old songs that no one ever really knew the words to in the first place!

Look for that jacket you left in the Prexy in 1981!

No recitations of demeaning limericks! (Unless demanded by upperclassmen)

Try to identify that smell in the Great Hall!

Bound to be better than the Demi-haploid-octenniel!

The frolic will be seismic; the expense ruinous. But no one will be turned away unless they cannot pay.

Spouses and squeezes Welcome!
