Over 1,400 Grinnellians from 52 different class years returned to the Grinnell College campus for the 2026 Alumni Reunion weekend, May 28–31. This remarkable attendance milestone set a new record for the College as the largest Reunion in history. 

But the numbers weren't the only thing legendary about the weekend. From Block Party to Drag Show to Alumni Assembly, attendees spent the weekend celebrating each other and reminiscing their undergraduate years on campus.

See some of the photo highlights from a weekend spent in community in the jewel of the prairie.
