Join Us at Stout!
April 10-12, 2026
Destination weekend invites supporters and families to campus to celebrate their student(s), enjoy a slate of academic events, and engage with the campus and community.
Signature, highly sought after events such as Fashion Without Fabric; multiple academic showcases; and a theater production anchor this early April weekend. Some activities are ticketed, but most activities do not require advance registration. (See the calendar below for further details.)
If you're planning to attend, please RSVP so we can ensure appropriate spaces for our audiences.

With so much going on during Destination Weekend, we didn't want to overwhelm you with more, but in truth, these events are only the beginning—a trailhead or thesis of sorts—of what UW-Stout presents throughout what we refer to as our Spring Showcase. We look forward to you joining us on campus.
