Family Weekend is an annual tradition with three main goals for UA families:

  • To reconnect and spend time with your UA student;
  • To experience UA traditions; and
  • To explore Tuscaloosa, your UA student’s new “home away from home.”

When is Family Weekend?

Family Weekend 2021 will be held September 24-26, 2021.

Stay tuned for more information about how to register for Family Weekend 2021! Be sure to join The UA Crimson Connection to receive communications with additional details as they become available.

This information will be announced soon along with the date that registration will open.

The Crimson Tide will be playing the University of Southern Mississippi at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Stay tuned for more information about purchasing football tickets for Family Weekend 2021!

Our Schedule Page will be updated in the future and include a list of campus and community events for your family to enjoy together!

Most families make hotel reservations for the weekend. The earlier you do this the better, as fall in Tuscaloosa is a busy time for local hotels. Check out Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports for helpful hotel and visitor information.

  • On Friday, parking regulations will be enforced. Find more information about visitor parking on the Parking Services website. We will also provide additional details as they become available.
