Festival of Lights
The Festival of Lights is a Stony Brook tradition that celebrates the rich traditions
of people of different cultural backgrounds, faiths, and religious beliefs during
the holiday season. This intercultural program reflects our diverse campus community
and highlights the most widely observed holidays through performances in song, dance,
music and video presentations; displays; holiday crafts-making; and traditional holiday
foods. The program highlights various faiths and celebrations, including Christmas/Advent/Three
Kings Day (Christian), Hanukkah (Jewish), Ramadan/ Eid-ul Fitr/ Eid-Adha (Muslim),
Diwali (Hindu), and Kwanzaa (African American). Past Festival events were coordinated
by the Diversity, Intercultural and Community Engagement, Interfaith Center, and a
host of student organizations. The 2023 Festival of Lights will be held on
Monday, December 11, 2023
