Fall Family Weekend

About the 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 September, nearly 4,000 family members visited and enjoyed the Parent and Family Association Tailgate, making it the largest tailgate on the plains!

Save the Date: September 12 - 14, 2025

Hotel Accommodations

Get a head start on your Fall Family Weekend planning by saving the date and securing your accommodations in advance.

There are many great options for places to stay when visiting your Auburn student. Auburn-Opelika Tourism provides a comprehensive list of hotels and accommodations. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a hotel in Auburn, such as during commencement weekend. During these times there are several nearby communities you might consider when looking for a place to stay.

Here are some ideas:

  • Lake Martin, Alabama
  • LaGrange, Georgia
  • Columbus, Georgia
  • Lake Harding, Alabama/Georgia

Also, Auburn is considered a vacation destination for many people, so there are a number of homes and condos available through Airbnb, VRBO, and other short-term rental websites.

Tailgate Registration

Many events are open to all, but the Auburn University Parent and Family Association annual Fall Family Weekend tailgate is a ticketed event.

Registration for the Fall Family Weekend tailgate will open this summer.

Specific details and ticket sale information for Fall Family Weekend will be highlighted on the Family Portal and social media.
