Winter Carnival 2016 Chili Cook Off
The winter fun is here with this year’s Winter Carnival. Syracuse University’s Traditions Commission is continuing the longstanding tradition of fun and warmth from Feb. 20 until Feb. 24.
Once a holiday before the onset of exams, the Winter Carnival was a means to escape the cold and bring excitement to the winter months. Today, the event offers such outdoor and indoor activities as the annual chili cook-off, “Plant Nite,” late-night skating and other events in collaboration with Orange After Dark.
