Wesleyan Weekend 2023—Uniting Tradition, Family and Fun

by Shelley McHugh

Mark your calendars and plan to join us for Wesleyan Weekend, September 28–October 1, 2023. A twist on our annual homecoming festivities, Wesleyan Weekend is filled with traditions both new and old. Parents and families are welcome and encouraged to attend the weekend’s events with your student.

Join us on Taylor Commons on Saturday, September 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a good old-fashioned family picnic and carnival with free food, music and games. We’ll serve hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks and sides with all the fixings. There will also be inflatables, yard games and a special appearance from NWU’s cheer and dance teams.

After the picnic, cheer on NWU football as they take on Luther College. The halftime show includes the introduction of student honorees in this year’s “The Pack.” Or stay on Taylor Commons for Bingo on the Green from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

Other weekend festivities include a music showcase, men’s and women’s soccer, theatre productions and more!
