Fall Family Weekend

September 25-27, 2026

Experience Auburn traditions and campus life with your student!

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 enjoy some beloved Auburn traditions like the homecoming parade, pep rally, and tailgating.

Join us for the Fall Family Weekend Tailgate Sponsored by Regions Bank on Saturday, September 26 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Cater Lawn.

Last September, nearly 4,000 guests attended the tailgate, making it the largest tailgate on the Plains!

A designated block of seats for the Auburn Homecoming football game will be available to parents and family members attending the tailgate.

Tickets for both the tailgate and the football game will go on sale August 7 at 10 a.m.

Tailgate tickets are $40 for adults and $25 for kids and students (K-12, college).

Menu for the event includes:

BBQ chicken or pork
Macaroni and cheese, slaw, baked beans, and house-made potato chips
Cookies and brownies
Canned soda and bottled water
