Alumni and Parents Weekend at Homecoming is scheduled for October 18–20, 2024. Let's come together to create new traditions, spark innovation, and write the next chapter in the Berkeley story! We’re planning lectures and other learning opportunities, special tours, and much more! Online registration is closed, but space may still be available at the event. Check in at Homecoming Headquarters when you arrive on campus to register on-site!

Whether you’re an alum, parent, student, or beloved friend of Cal, get the most out of your Homecoming experience. You can also explore the schedule to discover unique events for each day.

Hi there, Golden Bear! We want to make it easy for you to connect with other alums and Cal family members and engage with Berkeley’s scholars and researchers. Use the reunion/affinity groups filter to find events planned for you and your community. And be sure to check out the Who’s Coming page for a list of alums who have registered to attend. Have fun exploring!

Come together with Cal alums, parents, family, and friends to bask in Berkeley’s light! You can search by various filters to help you plan the perfect weekend.

As a parent or family member of a Golden Bear, we know you’re filled with pride! You are the heroes of the Cal community and Homecoming. We want to make it easy to connect with other Cal family members and engage with Berkeley’s scholars and researchers. There’s so much to explore!
