Family Weekend is an annual weekend each fall for parents and families to connect with their students, Marquette, and the city of Milwaukee. Events are open to all family members of Marquette students.

Family Weekend includes many types of activities that allow you to explore Marquette and Milwaukee! You can decide if you'd like to explore the campus scene, venture out for fun in the city, or a little of both. Many events are free and do not require advanced registration.

Please note, tickets for Family Weekend events, on-campus or tours offered through Milwaukee Food and City Tours, will go live Tuesday, September 1st. Please check back on our website for more details and event offering beginning at that time.
