Family Weekend

2026 Family Weekend: October 2–4

We are thrilled to invite you to Family Weekend at SMC, a special opportunity to visit campus, connect with your student, and experience life at Saint Mary's College of California firsthand. This year’s Family Weekend will take place from Friday October 2- Sunday, October 4, and we have a great lineup of events, activities, and gatherings planned for you. We invite families to spend the weekend attending talks by SMC professors, participating in the on-campus community service project, attending events sponsored by our arts departments, learning about the history of SMC and hopefully taking time to walk around and explore our beautiful campus. 

Whether it's your first time on campus or a return visit, we look forward to welcoming you into our community and celebrating the important role you play in your student’s college journey.

If you need any ADA accommodations in order to participate in any of the Family Weekend events, please email Family@stmarys-ca.edu
