Bicentennial Fall Weekend
Trinity College’s Bicentennial Fall Weekend, held October 13–15, combined the much-loved traditions of Homecoming and Family Weekend.
On Friday, alumni and families were welcomed inside labs, lecture halls, and academic and student life centers and on tours around the ever-evolving campus. On Saturday, Bantam athletes met rivals on the field and the court, and fans enjoyed receptions for their favorite teams. On both days, members of the community filled the Austin Arts Center during three performances of JOY!, a spectacle of music, dance, and circus that featured college and high school students alongside professional performers.
Other activities and events during the weekend included the Festival of Nations, the P.R.I.D.E. 25th Anniversary Celebration, and various group gatherings on the Main Quad.
