Food trucks, Red Sea coffee and '42 Brew debut, athletic games, live music, and more: Come to campus and be part of the Fairfield spirit!

Alumni & Family Weekend (AFW) is a cherished Fairfield tradition, bringing together students, alumni, and families for an unforgettable experience each fall. This year’s event will be packed with exciting activities for visitors of all ages, providing current students time with their families while alumni reconnect and network.

The highlight of the weekend is StagFest at the Barone Campus Center traffic circle, featuring food trucks, live music from alumni band St. Hubbin’s, a Lil' Stags Zone, and a wine and beer garden.

New Brews: Fairfield University and alumni-owned Elicit Brewing Company have partnered to debut an alumni-inspired craft beer, '42 Brew at Stagfest. For coffee lovers, Fairfield and Silvermine Coffee Roasters have collaborated to brew and serve the new Red Sea Coffee, sure to add a rich and aromatic flavor to your time at StagFest.

After StagFest, join the Fairfield community for the Stags Pep Rally at Mahoney Arena to officially kick off the 2024-25 athletic season, featuring varsity athletes, coaches, and administrators.

In addition to StagFest, AFW will feature RugbyFest, a Glee Club Concert, the Egan School's Clinical Initiation Ceremony, academic events, athletics events, alumni forums, and more.

Come and be part of the Fairfield spirit — enjoy new brews, tasty treats, and unforgettable memories with fellow Stags! For ticket information and a complete schedule of events, please visit www.fairfield.edu/afw.
