Flock Together
Friday, October 2 - Sunday, October 4, 2026
Phoenix Family Weekend is all about getting together with the people that matter most to you, whether that's relatives, friends or chosen family. Get ready to create memories by listening to live music, watching an outdoor movie, running (or walking!) the Phlash Dash 5K and exploring our beautiful campus.
What to Expect
Three days of family-friendly fun.
Most Phoenix Family Weekend events are free but require tickets so we can track attendance and ensure there is enough food, supplies and space for everyone. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter to be notified once tickets become available.
