Blue & Gold WeekendA Homecoming & Family Celebration

The Meadville Independent Business Alliance invites you to shop local and Experience Meadville. Downtown Meadville offers many unique dining and shopping experiences. Most downtown stores are open 10 am to 5 pm and several offer discounts to members of the Allegheny community. Check individual store and restaurant listings for hours.

Stop by for all of your Gator spirit needs!

Enjoy games or visit The Craft Corner to make a Gator craft.

Alumni who are on campus at this time are cordially invited to attend this special reception to meet other alumni and select college faculty, staff, and students.

As Good As It Gets is a one-woman show created by Elizabeth Colarte that follows the life of one unsatisfied, ungrateful little lady. Ain’t life a beaut? Well, those in-between moments are exactly the ones she doesn’t want any part of.

Visiting old women to feel rejuvenated. Fading into some romance. Having a panic attack in CVS. Repeat. For one hour only, we follow one would-be protagonist down the rabbit hole.

What do you do when you hate the guy you’re dating but he only has one eye? What do you stare at when sitting across from an old person whose eyes are constantly dripping in a way that can’t possibly be healthy? What happens when a textbook life doesn’t match up with the story you had in your head? May as well have some gross, wet cake and laugh all the way down. As Good as It Gets delivers a dry slap of comedy and a wet punch of what we lose when we can’t be satisfied.

As Good as It Gets will premiere this year at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Relax under the tent in Gator Quad and enjoy music, light snacks and drinks with fellow Allegheny families and alumni. Drink tickets for beer and wine will be distributed to persons 21 years of age and older (two tickets for 7-9 pm and two tickets for 9-11 pm).

Enjoy choreographed songs, singing, lip-syncing, and short acts performed by members of Allegheny’s fraternities and sororities. This is family-friendly — and, whether you’re Greek or not, a fun Allegheny tradition.

Enjoy music, painting (supplies will be provided), light snacks and beverages in a casual and fun atmosphere for students, families, and alumni.

The Meadville Independent Business Alliance (MIBA) invites you to Experience Meadville.  Check individual store and restaurant listings for hours and many offer discounts to Allegheny students and families. An early riser? Grab coffee or breakfast earlier at Pampered Palate Cafe & Bistro, Diamonds All-Star Grill or the French Creek Coffee & Tea Co. Visit the historic Market House at 910 Market Street, open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  The Market House, fondly dubbed the “Heart of Meadville,” is the destination of choice for local produce, eggs, meats, baked goods, local organic foods, and artisan crafts. Several downtown dining and beverage establishments await your exploration throughout the weekend. 

Join Andy Walker ’00, Executive Director of Allegheny’s Office of Economic, Civic, and Community Engagement, for a brief  walking tour (approximately 45 minutes) of downtown Meadville, from Diamond Park to the Market House. Andy, the former Meadville City Manager, will share historical information about Meadville and Diamond Park and discuss a vision for community revitalization.  

Tour participants, please meet at the gazebo located in the center of Diamond Park. Diamond Park is located on North Main Street between Chestnut Street and Walnut Street. For GPS directions, you can use the Crawford County Courthouse address: 903 Diamond Park Square, Meadville, PA. The tour will end at the historic Market House at 910 Market Street, within easy walking distance back to Diamond Park. Please wear comfortable shoes.

Please join Dr. Ron Cole ’87, President of Allegheny College, for a college update followed by an informal question and answer session.

Meet members of Allegheny’s Parent & Family Council (and fellow parents and family members) at a reception sponsored by the Council. The Parent & Family Council supports parent and family engagement, programming, and connection in order to build and maintain an active parent and family community that enriches the student experience.
