Join VCU Family Weekend!

You are invited to showcase your organization by tabling during Ramily Rally, our largest signature Family Weekend event! This is an opportunity to promote what you do and engage with an expected audience of over 2,000 students and family members! This year's Ramily Rally will be bigger and better than ever with a catered meal, dessert food trucks, a student Makers Market, street artists and magician, and more! We encourage you to participate and to think about how your table can contribute to the carnival/festival vibe we are going for.

Ramily Rally is scheduled for Saturday, October 19th from 11 AM-2 PM on the Commons Plaza and throughout the University Student Commons. Participants will be set up in one of the main event spaces in the Commons or outdoors if your table/activities would work better in an outdoor space.

Please let us know if you would like to participate in this opportunity to interact with, educate, and entertain the proud families of VCU students!

Please complete this form by September 13. You will receive a confirmation of participation via email by September 20. 

Please reach out to Kenlee Andreu, at andreuk@vcu.edu, if you have any questions.

The Underground is officially open! For the rest of the academic year, we are open Monday - Thursday from 11m-7pm and Friday from 11am-5pm. Come and see us!
