It’s your turn, ’23s and ’24s!

Suggestions for Attire

New England weather can be unpredictable this time of year, so be sure to check the weather forecast. Many of the activities will be outside under tents, some with heating, some without, so please dress for functional warmth and not fashion…and layers are always a wise choice. 

Area Accommodations

Fall in the Upper Valley is a busy time for visitors, so we encourage you to make a hotel reservation as soon as possible. There are no hotel blocks on hold for families for this special weekend. You may want to look for availability within an hour or so of Hanover in both New Hampshire and Vermont. Don’t forget to also check out airbnb, Vrbo, Quechee Lakes rentals, Eastman Lake rentals, and Hanover Hostel.

Friday Night Football Game Discounted Tickets

Discounted tickets to Friday night’s 6 p.m. football game vs. Columbia are available for attendees of this special weekend. You can purchase any seat in the stadium at the discounted price of $10. We do have the entire section 12 and the top rows of sections 4 and 5 on the home side of the stadium (West Stands) blocked off, so if you would like to sit with other families those are good seats to purchase.

 Visit the purchase page with the GreenFamily2021 code already activated to select individual seats and purchase your tickets. When you are in the system, be sure to select all the seats at once before clicking “add to cart.” Current Dartmouth students have free entry to the game by showing their Dartmouth ID. Your purchased tickets will be emailed to you in the form of an e-ticket.
