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!

Wondering how to participate in the fun? Register for the Class Pass for access to all the lectures, tours, open houses and more. Many meals and meet-ups include a free Class Pass.
