Jackson / Wright 69th Family Reunion Weekend Overview
July 24–26, 2026 | Grand Rapids, MI
Join us for a full weekend of connection, celebration, and legacy as generations of the Jackson and Wright families come together for our 69th Family Reunion. This special summer weekend is designed to bring us closer through shared meals, meaningful traditions, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Friday kicks off with a warm Meet & Greet Fish Fry, giving everyone a chance to reconnect, enjoy great food, sing, dance, and take part in fun activities—including our beloved Family Tree Assembly, where we honor our roots and see how we’re all connected. The evening continues with optional adult-only late-night fellowship.
Saturday is all about family fun and togetherness with a daytime Family Picnic & BBQ featuring games, activities, friendly competitions, and something for every age. The celebration continues into the evening with an optional adult meet-up to keep the energy going.
Sunday brings us together one last time for a relaxed Family Breakfast & Wrap-Up, where we reflect, laugh, and close the weekend with gratitude. Special activities will celebrate our family knowledge, shared history, and the bonds that unite us—before we say our goodbyes and travel safely home.
This weekend is about honoring where we come from, enjoying where we are, and creating memories for the generations still to come.
✨ More details, locations, and updates to follow.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
