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.

The following is a schedule for this year’s Winter Carnival:
