Rutgersfest, Rutgers Campus. Rutgersfest is the university’s annual late in the year carnival and free concert for the whole Rutgers community. Taking place in one of the enormous parking lots fields on campus<ref>The festival moved from Livingston Campus's large parking lot to a site on Busch campus.</ref>, the place fills with noise as popular artists come for an extremely large event. Attracting about 30,000 people may get a little hectic, but no worries there, for there is easy transportation (well, there tries to be easy transportation, anyhow) to and from the festival with a little help from the bus system implemented on campus. This has become quite an anticipated event, and thousands of kids wait to hear the lineup for this years performance. In past years, artists such as Kanye, J Cole, Brand New, and Talib Kweli have preformed. Keeping the fans waiting is what it is all about, which is why Rutgersfest holds out of the performance lineup until days before the spectacular event. � It is customary to cross the river, preferably on foot, and get drunk in the bars on Easton Avenue and eat at the grease trucks after the festival.
