The last weekend in October\nwill be a busy one on campus at Lexington\u2019s Transylvania University as the\nschool hosts Family Weekend, the Alumni Fall Festival and kicks off PumpkinMania.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family\nmembers of current students are invited to campus for Family Weekend Oct. 24-27.\nThe university is hosting a wide\nrange of activities<\/a>, including classroom visits, a concert and sporting\nevents, such as soccer and field hockey matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Family Weekend coincides with the university\u2019s Alumni Fall Festival<\/a> on Sunday, Oct. 27, from noon to 4 p.m. The festival will include games, food and drinks, kids activities and a DJ and is open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on Sunday, Transylvania kicks off its\nninth annual PumpkinMania celebration with a community carving event from noon\nto 4 p.m. Carve a pumpkin on campus or drop off your own pumpkin to be included\nin the PumpkinMania display on the steps of Old Morrison. Co-hosted by the\nTransylvania Young Alumni Council and Staff Engagement Team, Sunday\u2019s events\nwill be on the lawns of Old Morrison and Hazelrigg Hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekend parking will be available in the Mitchell Fine Arts Center lot<\/a>\noff Fourth Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, Oct. 29, the pumpkins take the\nspotlight as thousands of visitors come to campus for what has become an annual\nLexington Halloween tradition. The public is invited to join the campus\ncommunity when more than 500 jack-o\u2019-lanterns light the steps of the school\u2019s\nhistoric Old Morrison administration building. Visit local food vendors\nstarting at 5 p.m., including Bella\u2019s Mini Donuts, Bluegrass Kettle Masters,\nDoodles, Jasmine Rice, Mr. Gyros, Munchie\u2019s Fully Loaded, Nathan\u2019s Taqueria,\nThe Rooster\u2019s Whistle coffee company, Suga Mommas and West Sixth Brewing. Then,\ngo trick-or-treating from 6-7:30 p.m. along Old Morrison Circle. The highlight\nof the evening is the 7:30 p.m. pumpkin lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PumpkinMania lighting\nwill happen rain or shine \u2014 but trick-or-treating will move indoors if the\nweather\u2019s bad. PumpkinMania is made possible in part through the generous\nsupport of Tetra Tech. The jack-o\u2019-lanterns will be lit each night through\nHalloween. Parking is available<\/a>\non campus as well as in nearby downtown Lexington. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
