Back to BU Beach Festival + Alumni Weekend

The Back to BU Beach Festival is Alumni Weekend’s largest event and is open to all alumni. This family-friendly festival boasts a quintessential New England cookout, a packed performance stage, and a Campus Expo. This year's festival is catered by Woodman's of Essex, serving up New England classics like lobster rolls and fried clams (with vegetarian and gluten-free options!). The performance lineup includes campus favorites the Dear Abbeys, Liquid Fun, Inner Strength Gospel Choir, and more—plus the BU Pep Band, alumni performers Dr. Cleopatra Knight-Wilkins (SAR’74) & Frank Wilkins, and an appearance by President-elect Melissa L. Gilliam! Don't miss the Campus Expo highlighting schools, colleges, and programs across BU, and a Kids' Zone with BU-themed activities and lawn games.
