SEPTEMBER 17 -19, 2026 Celebrating the Past, Present, and Future — Together
Welcome Home for Family Weekend
Family Weekend is your invitation back to Regent's Virginia Beach campus, three days each fall set aside just for you. Join the Regent Community for campus tours, department open houses, and a frontrow seat to the community they’ve made their own. From the energy of Royals Fest and the Chopped Chili Competition to cheering on the Royals under the lights, it’s a chance to celebrate Regent life. The weekend is built around connection. Share a meal at The Ordinary Café, join in worship at The Outpouring in Shaw Chapel, or roll up your sleeves alongside fellow students, staff, and alumni at the Operation Blessing Service Project. Law School families mark 40 years of the program with a dedicated anniversary event, and when the schedule allows, Virginia Beach’s oceanfront is just minutes away. No matter how you spend it, Family Weekend is designed around one thing: a royal time together.
Arriving on Thursday? Get checked in and grab dinner before the weekend kicks into gear. Early Check-in from 5:00-7:00 pm Communication Building, Lobby
Registration is required for all Family Weekend attendees.
