Parents and Family Members

While we continue to encourage safety, we also want to encourage you to pay your Lumberjack a visit! And with so many local opportunities for fun, it may be difficult to fit into just one trip, including:

• attending an SFA sporting event
• painting your own pottery
• strolling through our downtown shops
• visiting the Saturday morning Nacogdoches Farmers Market 
• relaxing at one of our two nearby lakes 
• and so much more. 

We've partnered with the City of Nacogdoches to remind you that EVERY weekend can be Family Weekend. As an extension of the normal Family Weekend deals we’ve offered in the past, owners of local shops, restaurants and lodging have graciously agreed to offer special discounts to our Lumberjack families throughout the academic year. Visit visitnacogdoches.org/sfa-family for information on unique local discounts and spots around town.
