About PhysicsFest
PhysicsFest started at William & Mary in 2010, and since then it became a beloved Physics Department tradition. Every homecoming weekend, we opens our doors to the alumni and to the public to celebrate the wonder of physics. We have fun activities, exciting tours, tasty treats, and so much more!
Parking is available to the public at the Parking Garage on Ukrop Way.
