The Utopia spring festival combines several signature events into one community-wide celebration of arts, athletics, and community service. It will be the crowning event of the school year. From families and friends to clubs and teams, everyone will be at Utopia!! There will be fun games, giveaways, and prizes for our Preschool and Lower School friends, as well as inflatable bounce slides, obstacle courses, carnival food, and FRIENDS. U are going to love it!
But most of all, UTOPIA IS A FUNDRAISER. Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, All Year Cooling, and our many Shark Pride Sponsors who supported this event, ALL of the proceeds from this year's Utopia will go to a good cause.

In lieu of cash, young children can use blue tickets to play games and participate in activities, while everyone uses the blue and red tickets to purchase food and beverage items. About 25-50 blue tickets and 5-10 red tickets would cover one child for the day. If you prefer to purchase your tickets at the door, our ticket sales booth will open thirty minutes prior to the event at 3:30pm on April 30. Skip the long ticket lines by pre-purchasing your Utopia tickets and merchandise, which you can pick up directly from the box office in the AutoNation Center for the Arts on the day of the event.

Elevate any wall in your home or office with artwork produced by your children and their friends. Our Preschool students worked together to produce Jackson Pollock inspired artwork. Lower School art students also produced a colorful piece of art that is sure to brighten up any space. Our Middle and Upper School artists crafted an elegant and thought-provoking installation that could adorn a large foyer or office lobby. These collaborative works will be auctioned off on the day of the event.
NOTE: The silent auction opens at 3:30pm on April 30 and closes at 6:30pm the same day. Winners will be announced immediately following. All bidders must be present on the day of the event.

If you don't have a current 2022 NSU parking decal, you must pay for parking. There are payment machines located in each lot for your convenience, or you can use the Pay By Phone app with the appropriate location number. The Middle School parking lot will not have available parking on the day of the event, so plan to use the West Parking Garage or the Aquatic Center Parking.
NOTE: Please abide by the ‘head-in only’ rule to ensure that your license plate is facing the road. Reversing into a parking space will result in the issuance of a ‘no back in violation’ citation.
