SPECIAL EVENT | Freezefest at RIT 

Rochester Institute of Technology celebrates the winter season with its annual Freezefest, three fun-filled days of activities. This year the event runs from Friday, February 1, through Sunday, February 3, and there's really something for everyone to enjoy. Planned events include everything from a Sausage and Sauerkraut Festival to hockey games, ice-sculpture demos to something called PuppyFest, which is bound to be adorable. There's also a 5k race, and possibly most exciting of all is the Quidditch Winter Games — but they better be serving butterbeer at the refreshment stands.

All Freezefest events are held on the RIT campus and are free to students, but may have a general-admission fee for the public. For a complete list of events, visit campuslife.rit.edu/freezefest.
