Family Weekend events officially get underway at 11 a.m. Friday with DUCtoberfest, one of several festival-style events during the weekend. Families can also gather for Wonderful Wednesday presents "Family Friday" from 2-5 p.m. in Asbury Circle and the 34th Annual Family Weekend Picnic and Best of Emory Live from 12-2 p.m. Saturday on McDonough Field.
