This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Every autumn, Fairfield University students, families and alumni join together for Alumni and Family Weekend! Students and alumni connect and network, current students can share their experiences with their families, and everyone celebrates the past, present, and future of Fairfield University! Here are some of the events you can look forward to this year: 

 

StagFest

Noon – 4 PM | Rafferty Stadium Parking Lot

(Rain Location: Leslie C. Quick, Jr. Recreational Complex, Field House)

Live music. 

Live dance and cheer. 

And so much delicious food! 

If you like the sound of that, don’t miss Stagfest! It’s the feel of a music/food festival, and it’s always a fun time with family and friends.

 

Food trucks from b.Good, Colony Grill, Source Coffee Bar, Old Post Tavern, and more will be throughout Rafferty parking lot, along with a beer + wine garden for those who are 21+.
