Steer Roast is a weekend gathering of Senior House residents, friends, and alumni which has been held annually since 1963. Events include the ceremonial lighting of the barbeque pit, two nights of live music, the festive meal, the awards ceremony, and more.
Since the shutdown of Senior House, Steer Roast has been held at various venues in and around Cambridge.
Steer Roast 2026 will happen on May 1 to May 3!!
