About the event

WhereAlbright College, 1621 N 13th Street, Reading

Albright College opens its campus on North 13th Street for Homecoming and Family Weekend, bringing together alumni, students, families, and neighbors from across Reading and Berks County. The morning starts with the college's new 5K and Fun Run, a health and wellness addition to the weekend that welcomes seasoned runners and families looking for an easy walk alike.

The rest of the day carries the same community spirit. Athletic events fill the schedule, food trucks set up on campus, and alumni programming gives graduates a reason to reconnect. A ribbon cutting marks the completion of work on the Gingrich Library, giving visitors a first look at the finished building.

Homecoming has long been a point of connection between Albright and the surrounding area, and Lion pride is easy to spot throughout the day. Full details on the weekend's schedule are available through the college's alumni office.
