Reading with the Tigers (Fall 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.
