It's Berkeley Time, that magical moment in the year when we set aside our everyday routine as alums return to campus, students reunite with their parents, families gather for hugs, and all Golden Bears reconnect to celebrate what makes our Cal community so extraordinary! Join us for Alumni and Parents Weekend at Homecoming, October 9–10, 2026, as we transform our beloved campus tradition into an unforgettable experience! Check back often as events will be added to the website frequently. Registration opens on July 15, 2026.
