The students are on Spring Break, and Clemson is calling you home!
For one weekend, Tigertown feels different — and that’s exactly the point.
Come join the Clemson Alumni Association for a weekend of fun, activities and concerts with your old classmates and friends March 20-21, 2026. With students away on spring break, College Avenue becomes alumni‑territory, and is your chance to enjoy Clemson the way you remember it: great music, familiar faces, and a full schedule that lets you leave everything behind and simply have fun. A ticket is required to attend and participate in Spring Break activities.
The 5th Annual Alumni Spring Break is designed to feel like the best kind of college weekend — without the work, practices, or packed calendars waiting back home.
This year’s lineup includes:
- Friday Night College Avenue Block Party with live music by The Next Move and this year’s headliner – Corey Smith!
- Guaranteed pit access for the Friday Night Block Party
- The official Alumni Spring Break T‑shirt
- New this year: the ASB Festival Beer Stein
- Exclusive tours, including some of Clemson’s newest spaces
- Upgraded Saturday Morning Market – INSIDE the Madren Conference Center featuring Clemson alumni crafters and makers
- NEW! Clemson Quest & College Ave Crawl: Complete our self-paced on campus ‘Quest for Clemson’ including a mini bar crawl / shopping stop at your favorite College Ave merchants. This is your chance to experience campus through a ’scavenger hunt’-style quest, gain knowledge about Clemson new and old through our clever clues as you explore, and enjoy a few shopping & beverage-breaks downtown while you go.
