Mid-August
Shrimp Boil Picnic
What could be more relaxing on a summer day than a Cajun-style shrimp boil? Join us for a family-friendly picnic with shrimp, corn on the cob, redskin potatoes, and French bread.
Many consider this our flagship event.

PFC Community Traditions
Annual Events
Some of PFC’s most memorable gatherings happen every year. These events bring our community together for food, conversation, laughter, and shared secular-humanist traditions.
Mid-December
Annual Festivus for the Restivus
The human species has been celebrating the Winter Solstice since the dawn of civilization in one way or another. For those of us not subscribing to Judeo-Christian traditions, we have Festivus.
It is our chance to eat, drink, and be merry in the company of like-minded people and friends. And what would Festivus be without the airing of grievances, feats of strength both mental and physical, and plenty of laughter?
A great time is had by all. This is also a family-friendly event, and we usually have activities for children.
Throughout the Year
Special Events
Sometimes we are able to bring known speakers in for special events or host screenings of movies of special interest to humanists and freethinkers.
We also highlight events hosted by CMU and Pitt student groups when they welcome our participation. When significant cultural opportunities or community events may be of interest to our members, we promote attendance at those as well.
