Thank you for joining us at this year’s Alumni and Parents Weekend at Homecoming and for coming together to create new traditions, spark innovation, and write the next chapter in the Berkeley story! We look forward to seeing you again at Berkeley’s signature event next year — October 3–5, 2025. Registration opens in July.

We’ve posted lots of pictures to our photo gallery and recordings of the weekend’s events can be viewed on our curated YouTube playlist. You can also visit the individual event pages to see if recordings of them are available.

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!
