UMW National Championship Fan Fest Motorcade

Description

Celebrate the 2026 NCAA DIII Men’s Basketball National Champions with Fan Fest on the Fredericksburg Campus, Saturday, April 18, from 3–5 p.m. in the Anderson Center. We’ll have fan activities, food trucks around the courtyard, and limited–edition championship items. This city-wide celebration includes a team trolley that will travel downtown prior to the event, so you can also watch the motorcade and wave to the team between 2:30–3:15 p.m. on April 18. Look for the rolling parade route on social media and follow along @marywash, @marywashadmissions, @umwathletics and @umw_mensbasketball, and then join us on campus from 3–5 p.m. to meet the team. You are also invited to make posters at the Fredericksburg Visitor Center (free) on Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18 so you're ready to show your spirit when the motorcade passes by! UMW’s National Championship Fan Fest is open to the community with public parking available in the Alvey Deck and across Rt. 1 in Eagle Village.?Food trucks and concessions will be available to purchase; specials will be available for UMW students and Destination UMW visitors that day. Thanks for cheering on the hometown team during this historic season!
