FreezeFest: Spiritual Symbols, Food, and Culture from Around the World
Come join Spirituality and Religious Life (SRL), the Interfaith Council, and Global Union as different spiritual and religious staff and student leaders display, highlight, and explain the significance of their spiritual symbols, iconography, food, and culture! What's the purpose of a paten and chalice at a Christian service or challah at Jewish Shabbat or Wuḍūʾ in Islam? Grab some food from ethnic restaurants around Rochester to sum up the experience, all while learning some interesting facts!
This event forms a part of SRL's participation in the United Nations' World Interfaith Harmony Week from February 1-7, 2026. Check out our website and the RIT Events Calendar for more spiritual happenings during this time period that seeks "to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith."
FreezeFest is a week-long celebration of winter at RIT, featuring a variety of on- and off-campus activities. For a complete list of events, visit rit.edu/FreezeFest. #RITFreezeFest
