Family Weekend is a “Choose Your Own Adventure” weekend with three main goals for UA families:
During Family Weekend, there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy time with your UA student and achieve those goals as a family.
Family Weekend 2024 will be held October 11-13, 2024.
This is a great time to visit campus to see your UA student’s “home away from home!” Social and educational family-friendly programs are planned for the weekend so you and your family can enjoy the campus, learn more about The University of Alabama, and experience the pride and tradition of Alabama football.
