Hi, Leonard - Family Weekend starts on Friday, Oct. 18. Most families arrive early but you can avoid the long lines if you are able to check-in later that day (lines slow down around noon). Check-in will run from 9AM until 6PM on Friday, with the first event "President's Family Weekend Address, scheduled to begin at 1:30PM. Jazz Brunch is the final event, which will conclude by 2PM on Sunday. We are working on all the details now and send out an update as soon as we are able. I hope these details help though.
