PVC Student-Athlete Welcome BBQ (2026)

The Princeton Varsity Club, Alumni Engagement and Princeton Association of New England (PANE) are teaming up to co-sponsor a pre-game reception preceding Princeton Football’s game against Harvard on Saturday, October 24th.

The reception will take place at Grafton Street Pub & Grill located in Harvard Square (see event map) from 12:30-2:30 p.m. in advance of the 3:00 p.m. match-up between the Tigers and the Crimson. Tickets ($25 adults, $15 Young Alumni [2017-present], $10 Children) to the pre-game reception will include tailgate style food and drink.

All Guests must RSVP in advance to ensure that venue capacity is not exceeded.

The ’56 Lounge (accessible via the stadium concourse elevator near Section 10) will open at 11:00 a.m. in advance of the 12:00 p.m. kickoff. Tailgate food and drinks will be provided.
