What is College Royal?
|
An Annual Tradition Since 1925 College Royal is the largest university open house event of its kind in North America. Each March, the University of Guelph opens its doors to the general public in a campus-wide open house that attracts thousands of visitors every year. For students, staff, and alumni, College Royal is also a 12-day long event that includes popular events like Kick-Off Pub, Super Thursday, Livestock Shows, Square Dancing, the College Royal Ball, and much, much more. College Royal is a 100% student run and organized event. Whether you are a member of the general public curious to see what goes on at the "University on the hill", or a student looking to become involved, we invite you to join us. Come and join the fun this March! |
For the general public we invite you to come and visit the campus for Open House Weekend. Check out events like Old MacDonalds New Farm, the Square Dancing Competition, the Dog Show, the various Club Displays, and much more. Held during the last weekend of March Break each year, Open House Weekend is a chance to explore the university campus and see what the professors and students are up to. College Royal is a FREE event for the entire family. Each year we welcome over 20,000 visitors.

"Where Guelph students can learn how to show livestock with no prior experience necessary."
"The best FREE family event during March break for anyone in the area!"
"The BEST University of Guelph experience!"
