Cheer on the UMW Eagles one more time as we celebrate the 2026 NCAA DIII Men's Basketball National Champions with Fan Fest on the Fredericksburg Campus, Saturday, April 18, from 3-5 p.m. in the Anderson Center. We'll have fan activities and food trucks around the courtyard and limited-edition championship items.  

This city-wide celebration includes a team trolley that will travel downtown prior to the event, so you can also watch the motorcade and wave to the team between 2:30 and 3:15 on April 18. See the route below or gather along William Street for the start and middle of the route which will loop around Princess Anne Street, Caroline Street and Amelia Street. The motorcade concludes at the Anderson Center on the UMW Campus for Fan Fest. 

 
Look for the rolling parade route on social media and follow along @marywash, @marywashadmissions, @umwathletics and @umw_mensbasketball, and join us on campus from 3-5 p.m. to meet the team. 

UMW's National Championship Fan Fest is open to the community with public parking available in the Alvey Deck and across Rt. 1 in Eagle Village.  Food trucks and concessions will be available to purchase.  

Specials will be available for UMW students and Destination UMW visitors that day.  

Thanks for cheering on the hometown team in this historic season!
