The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted to impose a 72-hour noise ordinance the weekend of Deltopia, the — formerly — largest annual college party in the country. After backlash from students, UC Santa Barbara promised to provide an “alternate event” to provide disappointed Deltopia-goers with a fun weekend, regardless.

The Associated Students Program Board (ASPB) announced via an Instagram post this last Friday that the alternative event will be “even better” than Deltopia. It will reportedly feature a bouncy house, an open soda bar and even an entire Costco sheet cake.

According to the Canva graphic posted on ASPB’s Instagram account, “Bouncetopia” will take place in the I.V. Deli Mart parking lot the Saturday following week 1 of spring quarter. In observance of the county noise ordinance, the event will not allow music or outside voices.

ASPB Director and fourth-year environmental studies major Alana Weenis boasted about the hard work that went into planning such a riot.

“Bouncetopia wasn’t built in a day. Planning this took minutes of deliberation, dozens of dollars and a whopping six phone calls to businesses in the area,” Weenis said. “Deltopia is a hard act to follow, and I think we’re gonna nail it.”

Some students were flabbergasted by the magnitude of Bouncetopia and had a hard time believing that UCSB would provide them with such an extravagant event.

“I didn’t even really care about Deltopia that much, but now that it’s Bouncetopia, I’m so fucking excited. I mean, a whole Costco cake is insane! I’m gonna get such a sugar high at the soda bar,” second-year film and media studies major Charlie Chen said.

A significant feature of Deltopia was visitors from other schools coming to UCSB to party. Bouncetopia predicts similar results.

“I’m trying to get as many people as possible together to split a hotel room for Bouncetopia,” San Diego State University second-year student Jake Jack said. “I wasn’t even gonna go to Deltopia, but this has really kicked things up a notch. Everyone in San Diego is trying to go.”

With the rising hype for Bouncetopia, ASPB is reportedly planning to include even more amenities in its event of the year. Rumors have begun circulating of a temporary tattoo station, one (1) free taco per attendee and a raffle for one free hour of kayak rentals.

 

Joseph R. Biden will reportedly make an appearance at Bouncetopia.
