28th Annual Family Weekend
When: Friday, October 3 and Saturday, October 4, 2025
Where: Various locations across campus and San Diego
Family Weekend is in the fall semester and celebrates SDSU students, families and friends! It invites parents and family supporters to get a glimpse into their student’s life at SDSU. It is one of SDSU’s most long-standing traditions and brings thousands of students, parents and family supporters and alumni together. Several events are hosted throughout the weekend specifically for attendees. The signature events have included a picnic, brunch and a football tailgate.
About
We would like to invite all SDSU students and their parents and family supporters, with a special invitation to fall 2025 admitted first-year, transfer, graduate students, alumni, and their parents and family supporters to attend.
There will be various events happening throughout the weekend at several locations. Most locations are at SDSU’s San Diego campus, but some are off campus, such as our Family Weekend Tailgate at Snapdragon Stadium.
