In celebration of SJSU's 152-year-old tradition, more than 400 students gathered on the Tower Lawn on Thursday night to observe "Fire on the Fountain."
The event is put in place to conclude Homecoming week, host the crowning of the king and queen and kick off the Homecoming football game.
President Jon Whitmore said in his opening speech that Homecoming is a huge tradition that has been celebrated since 1933.
Students and faculty enjoyed free activities such as tarot card readings and juggling.
Free popcorn, pretzels and cotton candy were also available.
Freshman marketing major Amanda Norton said the event was a good place for first-year students to get out of their comfort zone and get involved in campus activities.
Freshman pre-nursing major Rachel Chan said, "This is the first real school thing that I've come to."
Marco Negrete, Associated Students volunteer, said the Fire on the Fountain event allowed students to show off their school spirit as students showed off their "Spartanality." Students created Spartan armor out of recycled cardboard and aluminum foil.
The football team's senior players rushed into the crowd to cheer with their student fans.
