Family Weekend

A family plays bingo during Family Weekend 2023

After hosting the entire Bucknell community for Homecoming & Family Weekend in 2023, we are pleased to announce that Family Weekend will return to a stand-alone weekend focused on our students and their families in 2024. We hope you will join us on campus Sept. 20-22!

Family Weekend is an annual fall tradition when parents and families can visit their students and take advantage of everything that campus has to offer. Whether it be arts, athletics, academics or student activities, the weekend provides a firsthand look at the place that has become home to their students.

The schedule of events will be posted at go.bucknell.edu/familyweekend in the spring of 2024. Be sure to add the weekend to your calendar now and watch your inbox for updates as they become available.
