Family Weekend at Appalachian State University promotes the engagement of Mountaineer families through unique programming opportunities in the High Country. Paired with a sporting event and community events, Family Weekend provides families with a chance to experience Boone through the eyes of a student. It is an exciting time in the Boone area and we hope you are able to visit our favorite coffee shops, experience a mountaintop hike at sunrise, shop in our downtown stores, or take a nap in a hammock.
Family Weekend is designed for you and your student, so we give you some open time in the schedule to plan your own fun. Be sure to pack a raincoat because these fun events are happening rain or shine.
