Daytime obliteration at its finest.

Free yearly concert thrown by Rutgers University for the students that is open to the public as well.

Some previous acts include Kanye West, Third Eye Blind, Everclear, Sugar Ray, Fabolous, Ludacris, Reel Big Fish, Method Man, Fuel, N.E.R.D, Talib Kweli, Brand New, Motion City Soundtrack and more.

Apparently there are also carnival rides, moon bounces--other stuff like that. Sounds great, but unfortunately another Rutgersfest tradition includes getting so shitfaced on College Ave Campus that you miss the concert altogether.

It's all good though, we'll get em next year.

A day where rutgers provides free entertainment to its students. They have groups such as pit bull 3OH!3 and brand new play on stages. They also have small carnival rides and lots of fun stuff for students and friends.

Students take this as a day to party. Fraternities start drinking in the morning and have bbq's all day, other students just drink all day.

During this great day for students, people from new Brunswick (townies) and others from NJ cities come in to party. They cause trouble and are often gang affiliated. On Rutgersfest, the town of New Brunswick becomes unsafe due to these Hoodrats.

The one day of the year where all the students of Rutgers University stay indoors after dark and watch the citizens of new brunswick and their friends roam the streets and do hood rat things from second and third story windows.

noun: event in which all students attending Rutgers University, a state university of New Jersey, drink excessive amounts of cheap beer, roast pigs and openly share and contract any number of the hundreds of STDs for which Rutgers is famously known to incubate. It is surmised that one of the residence halls on the Rutgers-New Brunswick campus was a hot zone for some of the more serious epidemics of sexually transmitted diseases of the mid-90s.
