Introducing College All-Star Weekend: A New College Festival Begins April 2025

Inspired by the NBA's All-Star Weekend, College All-Star Weekend is all set for its inauguration, focusing on showcasing the best collegiate basketball players and including entertainment and activities for college students across the country. The Men’s and Women’s All-Star Games will be the centerpiece of College All-Star Weekend, a college festival that is scheduled to take place every year in April following the conclusion of the College Basketball Season. The festival offers an exciting program of athletic events, student-focused activities, and a range of community-driven events.

In its inaugural year, College All-Star Weekend will focus on the All-Star Games and Student Fest. The All-Star Games will showcase elite athletes from colleges and universities throughout the host state. This first year will provide the groundwork for a more extensive festival in the following years. The host city will be announced in January 2025. Like the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, which showcases the top talent in college football, College All-Star Weekend aims to highlight the best in college basketball. Drawing inspiration from successful All-Star basketball events at the high school and professional levels, College All-Star Weekend seeks to bridge the gap and provide a premier stage for elite college talent. The organizers recognize that attracting the top players may take time, but they are committed to a steady, strategic approach, progressing one step at a time, year by year. 

Student Fest will bring together college students for a variety of social, cultural, and entertainment events. Activities organized by nearby student organizations will be part of the multi-day Student Fest event. Importantly, student organizations will retain all the money raised from their events, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie among students and providing opportunities for collaboration and networking. Student Fest will also include events hosted by local businesses, clubs, and promoters to provide college students with an experience they won't soon forget in one handy place. In a way never seen before, it's a chance for students to connect, build relationships, and enjoy College All-Star Weekend.  Examining successful festivals across the country, the organizers are adopting that concept to create Student Fest.

Another goal of College All-Star Weekend is to give students practical learning experiences. There will be internship opportunities in the following fields:

  1. Team GM’s

  2. Sales and Marketing 

  3. Game Day Event Management 

  4. Reporters/Journalism 

  5. Broadcasting 

  6. Trainers/Physical Therapy 

  7. Social Media

  8. Student Coaching 


In the future, College All-Star Weekend hopes to establish itself as a must-attend yearly occasion for students and college sports lovers. Among the anticipated additions are:

Athletic Events: Player Camps, Pro Combine, Juco Combine, Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, and Dunk Contest.

Weekend's events: Fan Fest, 4-Year College Recruiting Event for Community College Students, and Job/Career Fair.
