Belmont Abbey hosted their Spring Formal on March 24, 2023. The Spring Formal has been a fantastic event at the Abbey for over 15 years. Only in the spring will the Abbey have this formal, but it was put on pause due to covid in the 2020-2021 spring semesters. Luckily, Nate Bolton (Director of Student Activities) has brought it back to the Abbey, for a second year after covid has hit to give the students a night full of dancing and fun.
An interesting fact about the Spring Formal is that the location is never announced. The Spring Formal dance is always a mystery once you arrive at the site. This year the Spring Formal was held at Camelot Meadows. It was a beautiful location with a bamboo forest, a lake looking out into the sunset, and a barn with a huge dance floor. One hundred eighty-seven students and ten non-BAC guests. All those who attended enjoyed their night dancing to music or playing games outside.
There was no set theme for the Spring Formal. However, some key areas of the venue include a bamboo forest and sanctuary with market lights, a path leading to a lake, and the main venue building. There was a corn hole for those who wanted to take a break from the dance floor, refreshments, and delicious appetizers. The works are in motion for next year’s Spring Formal and all the fun to come.
