Alumni Fan Fest brings Saint Louis University graduates, donors and families together annually at Chaifetz Pavilion for a pregame celebration before cheering on the Billikens at a thrilling game in the arena.  

2026 Event Details

Our 2026 pregame party will feature everything you need to get into the SLU spirit before the men's basketball team tip off against Duquesne: family-friendly games, Billiken cheer and refreshments — including heavy appetizers, salad, popcorn, cookies and a complimentary beverage. Plus, members of our leadership giving societies can claim a special perk.

Alumni Fan Fest 2026 is now sold out. We look forward to seeing everyone there to celebrate this historic run by the Billikens.
