Family Weekend
September 25-27, 2026
Family Weekend gives you the chance to experience Austin Peay and get a feel for what it’s like to be a Governor. You can expect a fun filled weekend with activities for the whole family!
Our schedule kicks off Friday, September 25th with a football pep rally and activities geared toward showing your student's experience at APSU. Saturday is all about the Govs- you included! First, you will start your day connecting with the community as you explore Clarksville. Following, check out tailgate alley as we lead to the main event, our APSU Govs Football game! Help us cheer on the Govs as they play UT-Martin.
On Sunday, the fun doesn't stop. We have coordinated with local businesses to provide coupons and specials for our APSU students and families. Check out all the community has to offer before you head to the Mudbowl. A nearly two decades old tradition, the Mudbowl, hosted by the Student Government Association, is a huge volleyball tournament hosted in two feet of mud. Join us as we celebrate those willing to get muddy as we enjoy food trucks, music, and more.
We can't wait to show you a glimpse into APSU this September.
Tickets on sale July 1st!
