Graduation weekend at Davidson College

Davidson College names Chambers Lawn, Front Campus as its main ceremony venue, usually in May. It isn't on our campus map, so the walk times on this page run to the tour start only. Schedule lines: 'Sunday, May 17, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.' and 'Chambers Lawn, Front Campus' (May 17 is a Sunday in 2026, so the page likely still shows 2026).

Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.

Worth doing before you book

Davidson College gear for the ride home

A hat for the tour, a hoodie for the acceptance letter, a frame for the far end of it all. Each button runs an Amazon search for that item with the school's name filled in.

Tour Day Hotels is not affiliated with or endorsed by Davidson College or any other college. The gear is sold by Amazon and its sellers, not by us and not by the school; if licensed merchandise matters to you, look for that on the listing. We show no prices because they change by the hour.
