Gallery: Winter Fest warms up Moody with dancing, tacos and hot chocolate

January 27, 2026 by Callie Brimberry

The Campus Activities Board hosted its annual Winter Fest this past Thursday night. Moody Coliseum was filled with students dancing during a silent disco. The first 200 students received hot chocolate from Monks Coffee Shop, and the first 100 lined the sidewalk for free tacos provided by El Texico food truck.
