===May Ball===
St John's hosts a large and typically spectacular [[May Ball]], which is traditionally held on the Tuesday of [[May Week]]. In recent years, tickets have only been available to Johnians and their guests. Highlights include an extravagant fireworks display and a variety of musical acts which in recent years have included [[Rudimental]], [[Gorgon City]] and [[Katy B]].<ref>{{cite web |title=St John's College May Ball 2015 |url=https://hawthorn.biz/st-john%E2%80%99s-may-ball-2015 |website=Hawthorn |access-date=18 January 2019 |archive-date=19 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119121621/https://hawthorn.biz/st-john%E2%80%99s-may-ball-2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The May Ball is organised by the committee, usually composed of 20 students from the college, with roles ranging from Head of Food, Drink, Security, Scene, Creative, Logistics, Employment, and the executive committee with a President, Vice-President and Junior Treasurer. The Ball prizes itself in being the largest student party in Oxbridge. The first ball took place in 1888 and has since been considered one of the most lavish end-of-year university parties. The theme is kept a secret until the night itself.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mayball.org/|title=St John's College May Ball|website=mayball.org}}</ref>
