Fall Family Weekend
All Auburn Family members are invited to campus for a weekend of activities, programs, and the chance to watch the Tigers play in Jordan Hare Stadium. Each year, Fall Family Weekend is aligned with the Homecoming football game, so you get to experience campus life while enjoying some beloved traditions like the homecoming parade, pep rally, and tailgating. Last year, over 3,500 family members visited and enjoyed the Parent & Family Association Tailgate, making it the largest tailgate on the plains!
