Go-Fest is the biggest and hottest summer party in the Southeastern United States, hosted by the Filipino Student Association (FSA) at the University of Florida. Originating in the summer of 1996 to unite all FSA’s across Florida, it has grown to be THE event/party people look forward to for the summer. People from all over the state and some from out of state meet in Gainesville to kick Summer B off!

The party this year, Go-Fest 2010: “Get Outta Your Mind”, will take place at Costa Lounge (formerly Whiskey Room) on Saturday July 10th and will be featuring DJ Spinfamous!
