Elon University will hold its annual Summer Community Picnic on June 25, 2025, from noon to 2 p.m. inside Alumni Gym.

Hosted by the Office of the President, the yearly picnic celebrates vibrant connections between students, faculty, staff, families and neighbors of Elon University.

Originally set for Under the Oaks in the university’s Historic Neighborhood, the picnic was moved indoors due to extreme heat in the weather forecast. It remains open to the community and will feature music from The Retro Band.

Parking will be available in lots for the Oaks residential neighborhood on North Williamson Avenue, the Global Neighborhood on Phoenix Drive, and the McMichael Science Center on East Haggard Avenue.

Parking at The Inn at Elon is reserved exclusively for guests of the inn or those visiting with guests at the inn. For any questions regarding this event, please email presidentevents@elon.edu.
