Event Details
October 23-25, 2026
Family Weekend is about celebrating all things Mizzou and what makes Mizzou feel like home to each student. Friends, family, faculty and staff, and community members are welcome to attend.
The Family Weekend Schedule is available in the Family Weekend Registration Portal.
This year, Family Weekend will not have a Mizzou football game on the schedule. This decision was made thoughtfully and in direct response to feedback from families who shared challenges in previous years related to parking availability, hotel access and navigating campus.
For activities near the MU Student Center, Reynolds Alumni Center, Traditions Plaza and central campus, use the Hitt Street Parking Structure before 2 p.m. After 2 p.m., Turner Avenue Garage and Conley Avenue Parking Structure are additional options and closest to the Welcome Reception and Illumination on the Quad.
If you’re headed to Eckles Hall, park in the Virginia Avenue Parking Structure and use the College Avenue pedestrian bridge. For scheduled Mizzou Research Reactor (MURR) tours, RP10 is the recommended parking area.
On Saturday, families may use available campus parking lots and structures, except areas or individual spaces marked as reserved.
For activities at Faurot Field/Memorial Stadium, SG4 is the recommended parking area. SG4 is also a great place to park if you plan to leave your car in one location and walk or use campus transportation throughout the day. The Tiger Line campus loop will operate from noon–8 p.m. Saturday and provides connections throughout campus.
For Saturday morning activities near the MU Student Center and central campus, available campus parking may be used, with the Hitt Street Parking Structure remaining a convenient option.
Whenever possible, we encourage families to park once and walk or use the Tiger Line between activities rather than moving your vehicle throughout the day. Please do not park in reserved lots or individually reserved spaces. ADA-accessible spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis for vehicles displaying appropriate accessible parking credentials.
