the best
last day ever
The most anticipated event of the year
The three programming boards of St. John’s University’s Student Government, Inc. – Haraya: The Pan-African Students’ Coalition, the Resident Student Association, and the Student Programming Board – introduced “Stormin’ Loud” in the spring of 2021 as a response to the pandemic, and out of a desire to find ways to engage their campus community within it. The event was first introduced as a virtual concert done in collaboration with Looper – an interactive online platform – to showcase performances featuring student artists and Chicago rapper, Smino.
On April 29, 2022, Stormin Loud was reintroduced to the St. John’s community as an outdoor festival. The festival featured a 75-foot Ferris Wheel, a vendor's market and popular food trucks, as well as performances by St. John’s students, organizations, local acts and New York artists. Stormin Loud returned in 2023 and true to the name, students resisted an actual storm. On April 26, 2024 over 3,000 Johnnies checked into Stormin' Loud which featured three brand activations, 25 vendors, an art installation, student performances and live entertainment. As a result of the event’s success, Stormin Loud is now the most anticipated event of the year. We are excited to welcome our Johnnies back for another year.
“Stormin Loud brings the entire campus together to celebrate all the incredible moments, achievements, and memories that made the year unforgettable.”
"Stormin Loud is a great way to end the year. It’s a day to put aside the finals and work to go out and hang with your friends and fellow Johnnies. Last year was my personal favorite because of Laila! She’s one of my favorite artists."
"Stormin Loud is a very fun and exciting experience! It’s a great way to decompress and relax before finals week!"
"Stormin Loud literally defines the best last day ever. It’s a rewarding way to close the school year and make unforgettable memories. ‘Till this day, I will never forget the Swae Lee performance."
“Stormin’ Loud is such a fun way to end the school year! I love being able to just take in the energy, enjoy the performances, and spend time with friends on campus. It’s definitely one of my favorite events!!”
