UC Davis Parent and Family Weekend

Save the Date: November 1-3, 2024

Parent & Family Weekend

Save the date for UC Davis Parent and Family Weekend on November 1-3, 2024. The annual event gives parents and family members of current students the opportunity to engage with UC Davis life — from academics to athletics and everything in between.

While the schedule for this year’s activities is still being finalized, we look to offer opportunities to explore unique aspects of Davis, connect you with your student’s academic college, cheer on the Aggies at a home football game, eat on campus, visit downtown Davis, meet staff, and, most importantly, give your student the opportunity to see you and share their favorite things about UC Davis.

Registration will open closer to the start of the academic year. Be on the lookout for an email notification once registration is live and bookmark this page to review the schedule once it is available.

 

*Please note: Unlike other campuses whose traditional open house events happen in the fall with Homecoming/Parent and Family Weekend, UC Davis’ large community events happen in the spring at Picnic Day! This means that Parent and Family Weekend is a more low-key event. However we hope that you can join us for both events. Picnic Day has more than 70,000 attendees each year and over 200 activities including a parade, battle of the bands, fashion show, student organization fair, and the Doxie Derby, the beloved wiener dog race. Picnic Day will be held on April 12, 2025.
