Bemidji State University’s annual Family Weekend begins Sept. 18 with a variety of on-campus activities for students and their families. The weekend begins with comic magician Mike Bliss and continues through Sept. 20.

Family Weekend is a special event for families and friends of BSU students to revisit campus – or visit for the first time – check in on their students, and enjoy all that Bemidji State University and the city of Bemidji have to offer. This annual Bemidji State tradition lets our students share the BSU experience with their loved ones and reconnect for a weekend of quality time on campus.

Visitors to Bemidji can find dining and lodging information at visitbemidji.com.
