As students return to Baylor’s campus for the spring semester, the university’s calendar is packed with an array of events that bring the campus together. Whether you’re into student-led performances, big-name shows or cultural moments, here’s a semester’s worth of events to mark on your calendar.
All-University Sing
One of Baylor’s most beloved traditions, All-University Sing, returns Feb. 19 and spans over two weeks at Waco Hall. For more than 70 years, this student-produced Broadway-style production competition has showcased creativity and performance talent across campus organizations. Groups put on seven-minute productions, with the top eight acts advancing to the prestigious Pigskin Revue competition in the fall.
Over six nights, Waco Hall becomes a whirlwind of choreography, set design and campus spirit — a must-see for undergraduates and alumni alike. Planning to attend? Sing nights usually begin at 6:30 p.m. and run into the evening, making for a perfect study break.
Waco Hall: Symphony and Standup
Beyond Sing, Waco Hall continues its tradition of cultural programming throughout the semester. On March 18, the Waco Symphony Orchestra presents Stellar, Sterling & Beethoven 5, blending classical favorites with fresh orchestral energy.
On April 16, the orchestra returns with An Emerald City Evening: Wicked & All-Time Broadway Favorites, offering a Broadway-infused night for musical lovers.
On April 19, comedian John Crist brings his signature blend of faith-friendly and relatable humor to the Waco Hall stage, marking one of the semester’s biggest comedy events.
These shows provide a blend of classical art and modern entertainment right in the heart of campus. Intertwining both family-friendly events and the arts.
The Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion
Foster Pavilion — a state-of-the-art 7,500-seat arena on campus — opens its spring lineup with events that reach beyond the university community and into the heart of Waco.
Harlem Globetrotters 100 Year Tour — Feb. 14 at 1 p.m.
According to Baylor University’s press release, the Harlem Globetrotters’ 100 Year Tour is “a once-in-a-century celebration of 100 Years of jaw-dropping ‘No Way!’ moves, 100 Years of ‘Wow!’ moments and 100 Years of basketball thrills.”
The world-famous basketball entertainers are bringing their centennial celebration tour to Baylor. Expect gravity-defying tricks, humor and interactive features — including post-game autograph sessions.
Hudson Westbrook in Concert — April 24 at 7 p.m.
Big-hearted Texas country artist Hudson Westbrook, known for chart-topping hits and a growing fan base, hits the Foster Pavilion stage for an evening of high-energy music.
“Westbrook’s distinct vocal, ‘traditional country sounds and timeless songwriting’ have become his calling card,” according to a press release from Billboard.
Westbrook played as an opener for a variety of country music artists in 2025, including Parker McCollum, Midland, Eli Young Band, Cole Swindell and Ian Munsick.
“Amassing over half a billion streams in his first 15 months as an artist, Westbrook was named Billboard’s December Country Rookie of the Month and a 2025 Artist to Watch by Country Now, Holler, The Country Wire and more,” the press release from Baylor University said.
These events reflect Baylor’s partnership with live-event programming that brings national acts to Waco, supplementing student life with performances typically found in much larger markets.
From student-led productions like Sing to large-scale concerts and performances, spring 2026 promises a semester with something for everyone. These shared experiences — whether singing in Waco Hall or cheering in the pavilion — give students a chance to connect, recharge and make memories that outlast the classroom.
Pick your nights, grab your tickets and get ready: this semester’s calendar is one you won’t want to miss.
