Outdoors Event  |  Off-campus at the Narrow Gauge Outdoor Venue

The Narrow Gauge Outdoor Venue is located in downtown Farmington, behind Narrow Gauge Cinemas — near UMF’s Prescott Field (adjacent to Leib Field soccer pitch). This is a short walk from campus. For spectators who cannot sit outdoors, limited indoor seating and a livestream of the event will also be available inside Narrow Gauge Cinemas, next to the outdoor venue.


In case of inclement weather, the outdoor Commencement ceremony will be held indoors at the UMF Fitness & Recreation Center beginning at 2:00pm.
See details on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

The Ketynote Speaker and Student Speaker will be announced soon.
