Bring your family for an afternoon of fun and games on campus!

The BU campus comes alive with activities for all ages. Saturday afternoon is perfect for families to explore BU’s buildings, and have fun at Homecoming.

Come early for the Cartoon Cereal Bar or drop in on the PrairieCon GamesDay. Both of those start at 10 a.m. Make sure to make time to wander through the Campus Chrome car show. Looking for action? There are plenty of Bobcats athletics games to take in if you’re feeling like cheering! And when you feel like a snack, we’ll have food trucks to fill you up.

After a full day, be ready to rock out late! Evening entertainment will begin under the tent in the late afternoon as Fifty Fest will keep the party hopping until midnight.
