Fantastic FallFest

Don your blue and gold and get ready — it's almost party time!

FallFest is one of the best-attended Triad festivals each year. Join thousands of students, alumni and community members Sept. 26 for a full day of play. From live bands and the Children's Festival to the Homecoming soccer game and the Parade of Chariots, FallFest showcases the best of UNCG — and we want you to be a part of it.

“FallFest is the perfect family event because it's not just my sons who have fun. My husband and I have a great time, too,” says Mary Kerrigan '02, who attends FallFest each year with her husband, Jeff Kerrigan '98, and their kids. “Although I will say the children's festival and the awesome bands are the things my kids look most forward to.”

In addition to all the regular fun activities you've come to expect, make sure you set aside time for the new Trolley Tour and Open House. The tour takes you to all of the buildings constructed with 2000 Higher Education Bonds. It's UNCG's way of saying thank you to our neighbors for voting YES on the bond referendum. Experience the campus transformation.

• Children's Festival, Kaplan Commons in front of Elliott University Center, 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
