Family Weekend

Family weekend is one big Pembroke celebration as students' families join us on campus for two days of special events. We'll cheer for our football and basketball teams, tailgate with food and new friends and enjoy cultural festivals. You'll even get exclusive Family Weekend swag as well as a chance to visit the Town of Pembroke!

Save the Date: Family Weekend 2026

We are excited to welcome families and supporters back to campus for Family Weekend, taking place September 25–27, 2026. This special weekend is a great opportunity to reconnect with your student, experience campus life, and take part in a variety of engaging programs and events.

More details are on the way. The full schedule and registration will be available in mid-July, so be sure to check back for updates. We look forward to celebrating with you this fall at UNC Pembroke!
