Free food radar
Every 5C event whose listing says both free and food, pulled nightly from public campus calendars. Send it to the group chat before anyone pays for dinner.
This week
Friday, Sep 4 – Thursday, Sep 10
Only days with confirmed free food show up here. A missing day means nothing was announced — not that we forgot to check.

Pulled nightly from public 7C calendars and submitted listings; expired events drop off automatically. Not independently verified — we list whatever mentions free and food, and the food is whatever the organizers promised. Listings that say “lunch provided” without “free” live under food events.

The radar changes nightly; these rules do not. Learn them once and eat free more often.
Department colloquia, speaker events, and info sessions budget for catering. Heads up: listings that say "lunch provided" or "reception to follow" without the word "free" skip this radar — skim the food filter on the events page to catch them.
It can mean a full taco bar or a sleeve of store-brand cookies. Check the description before you build your evening around it.
The event may run two hours; the food runs out in the first twenty minutes. Plan your arrival around the boba, not the agenda.
Orientation, club fairs, and the first weeks of the semester are peak free-food season. Bookmark this page now — it fills itself.
