UE Hall of Famer and fan favorite Reed Jackson will speak at one of the most popular Aces events of the season. FanFest is back for the 7th year in a row and will take place prior to the University of Evansville men’s basketball season opener against Arkansas State on Friday, November 10.

Festivities get underway at 4:30 p.m. and run through 6:30 p.m. at Freedom Plaza, which is located directly outside the main entrance of the Ford Center. The game will begin at 7:00 p.m., giving fans plenty of time to make it inside the arena to their seats. This is the first time FanFest is on a Friday night.

Live music, a photo booth, bounce house and several more great activities will be at the event, which has taken place each year since 2011.

There will also be activities for fans of all ages with vendors selling food also on hand. Those selling food include: Dapper Pig, Marx BBQ and Backstage.

Admission to FanFest is free to everyone.
