Holmes Family Reunion
Thursday, June 11, 2026 - Sunday, June 14, 2026
Family is Everything! We are beyond due for us to get together. We are looking forward to seeing all the descendants on Manuel & Minnie Holmes for our largest family reunion yet.
Registration Deadline: December 31, 2025
Please register as soon as possible so we can secure the space and budget to plan a reunion we can all be proud of. Using the registration button above, you can sign up for the reunion and make a full, one-time registration fee payment by debit or credit card.
Full payments would be the most helpful. But if you are unable and need to make partial payments via installments, you can also click the button below to set up payments through CashApp, Venmo, or Zelle.
Location: Orlando, FL
Hotel & Accommodations
Hotel
We are working to negotiate a group rate at a local hotel for family members attending the family reunion. Bookings will need to be made and paid directly to the separately from registration fee. We will share details as soon as we have them. Registering for the reunion will help us get a better idea of how many rooms we need.
Charter Bus
If you are interested in traveling to the reunion via charter bus, please let us know. If there are enough family members traveling from the same city, we will be happy to help coordinate this. The costs associated with this mode of travel are not part of the registration fee and will need to be paid separately.
