Take a look back at Family Weekend 2026! Enjoy a few photo highlights from a weekend together at Randolph-Macon.
Our friends at the Town of Ashland are excited to welcome you to the Center of the Universe to explore your students’ home away from home. Try out their Yellow Jacket’s Guide to Ashland and/or their Yellow Jacket’s Family Ashland Itinerary, a walkable itinerary that will lead you to local restaurants, Ashland’s Saturday Farmers Market, public art, and a few must-see Ashland spots.
Parents arrive as their work obligations and other commitments permit. The more popular events are generally scheduled for late-afternoon on Friday into Saturday. No check-in is required!
The Town of Ashland provides a list of local Accommodations. When making reservations, please be sure to ask for the Randolph-Macon College rate.
Guest parking passes are not required for Family Weekend. Parents may park in all student and faculty/staff lots as designated in the Family Weekend Map.
Guests are welcome, and we encourage you to bring siblings. (Book a campus tour while you are here!)
Pets are allowed in certain places on campus and must be leashed at all times. However, pets are not allowed in the tailgate area or stadium during the football game on Saturday. We also ask that you refrain from taking them inside buildings, as others may be allergic. Clean-up is the sole responsibility of the pet’s owner.
We encourage casual, comfortable dress for the weekend.
