Winter Festival, occurring annually in February, is an opportunity for Amherst College students, faculty, staff and their families to begin the semester with a celebration of the season. The last Winter Festival, on February 18, 2024, included ice-skating, live music, a 20-foot-tall inflatable slide, ice sculpting demos, and, of course, a delicious array of food.
Established in 2012, Winter Festival is sponsored by the Office of the President.
