On December 20, 2024, the Enjoy Yagami Winter Event 2024 was held in the Yagami Communication Lounge of Yagami Campus’s 14th Building. This event was organized by the Graduate School of Science and Technology and the Faculty of Science and Technology, with support from the KeiDGs working group.

Until 2019, it was the tradition at Yagami campus for students to host Winter Concerts featuring performances by students from Yokohama Municipal Yagami Elementary School, Keio University students, faculty, and staff members. This year, hearing from many people who asked for the winter concert to return, faculty and staff members volunteered to organize a new event as a social gathering for Keio students, faculty, staff, and members of the local community.
Approximately 150 people joined the event. Attendees were able to feast on dishes provided by catering services and food trucks enjoying the festive atmosphere created by a series of piano solos, trios, and other musical numbers by twelve faculty, staff, and student performers.
