2024 Homecoming & Family Weekend

Make plans to join fellow Marlins on October 4-5 for an exciting lineup of events for Marlins and their friends and families during Homecoming and Family Weekend. On Friday, the weekend kicks off with Marlin Spirit Day and the annual Virginia Wesleyan University Golf Outing. On Saturday, VWU celebrates its annual FinFest with food, live music, and family fun. We’ll also cheer on the Marlins in athletic contests and alumni games and enjoy performances of VWU Theatre Department's production of CHICAGO! It's a weekend filled with festivities, athletics, arts, and community spirit that you won't want to miss.
