The 2026 Alford Family Reunion
Plano, Texas | July 2–6, 2026

Get ready, Alford family, it’s time to mark your calendars for an unforgettable celebration of love, legacy, and laughter! We’re heading back to the Dallas area for our 2026 Alford Family Reunion, hosted in the beautiful suburbs of Plano, Texas, just minutes from all the excitement of DFW.

​

​We cannot contain our excitement for the upcoming 2026 Alford Family Reunion. We have worked extremely hard to plan an awesome reunion in Plano, Texas. We have a fun filled weekend of fellowship, family, food, and unforgettable memories scheduled.  Make plans to attend the Alford Reunion, July 2-6, 2026.  We want to see you all there! 

​​

Our reunion theme is ‘Family In Formation’ and our plan is to celebrate the amazing strength of the Alford generations.  The details of the weekend are being shared via this correspondence and additional details will be published via the reunion website.  Please share this letter with family and friends who are interested in attending.

​

From July 2–6, join us for four incredible days of connection, fun, and family pride as we continue celebrating over 51 years of Alford tradition. In 1990, my father Sylvester Alford, Jr. hosted our family reunion right here in Dallas. We are honored to carry on that legacy by bringing the Alford family back in 2026. We can’t wait to welcome you to our city again.
