Our Biggest Holmes Family Reunion Yet
Thursday, June 11, 2026 - Sunday, June 14, 2026

Registration has now closed. The registration system will remain open for those who would still like to attend the reunion. However, registration at this stage does not include a reunion T-shirt or other pre-ordered surprise items.

As previously communicated, shirt orders were finalized based on registrations received by the deadline, and no additional shirts were ordered. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept new shirt orders or accommodate late shirt requests.

Official Family Reunion Schedule

It’s been a long time since we’ve had family from every Holmes sibling together in one place. This weekend is about coming back together, honoring our legacy, and creating new memories — laughing, celebrating, worshiping, and loving on one another.

From the shows we grew up on to the movies we still quote, this weekend is a celebration of our culture, our memories, and our family.

We’ve planned a full weekend of moments you don’t want to miss.

Please note: This schedule is subject to change and will be updated here to reflect any changes.

Family Hotel & Accommodations

We’re excited to announce that our 2026 Holmes Family Reunion home base will be: The Grove Resort and Water Park in Winter Garden, FL.

Stay Where the Family Stays

The Grove is more than our host hotel. It’s where much of the reunion experience happens.

Because of resort access policies, some reunion experiences and amenities are only accessible to registered hotel guests.

From family fellowship and breakfast meetups to the water park takeover, game night, and poolside kickback, The Grove is the heart of reunion weekend.
