Stamp Special Events didn’t roll out the red carpet for the 37th annual Stamp All Niter. It was more of a neon-tinted roller-rink floor.

Several thousand students stayed awake well into Saturday morning for the free indoor carnival of events for students, including cosmic bowling, Fortnite video game tournament, roller skating, henna tattoos and facepainting, a mocktail bar and food and T-shirt giveaways.

Other units helped organize popular events, including Terp Thon’s Escape Room, the Sketchup comedy performance and the B-Terps’ breakdance competition, so that every lounge, room and corner of the Adele H. Stamp Student Union had an activity to match students’ interests—and stamina.

B-Terps, the university’s breakdancing troupe, hosted a dance competition in the Atrium.

The Step Show and Performance Showcase is a staple of the All Niter, featuring student dance troupes and sororities and fraternities.

For the first time, the All Niter offered a Fortnite Tournament for gamers, and it was a huge hit. Teams of four competed from 4 p.m. to midnight, with the highest scorers taking home the four Xbox gaming systems used in the contest.

Eric Kimball from UMD’s Juggling Club helped kick off the event with a hot performance of his skills.
