Family Weekend

Family Weekend is an annual fall tradition when parents and families can visit their students and take advantage of everything the 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.

Family Weekend 2024

Campus was alive with Bucknell family members who joined their students for an incredible weekend in Lewisburg.

 

Family Weekend Highlights

Stay a While

Early accommodation booking is strongly encouraged. Contact the Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau to find lodging in and around Lewisburg, and explore options in our neighboring valley towns, including Danville, Bloomsburg, Selinsgrove and Williamsport. In addition to visiting their lodging page, they welcome calls at 1-800-525-7320.

Most alumni events will be scheduled on Saturday, so Bucknellians attending these events may choose to come just for the day.

Please keep in mind that while we communicate regularly with area hotels, Bucknell does not have control over their reservations or pricing. On-campus housing is not available for visitors during Family Weekend.
