This May, BYU is continuing a long-standing tradition of bringing BYU Athletics to Cougar Nation with two Fan Fest events in California and Utah, along with a special Sunday Devotional in Southern California. Established in 2013, BYU Fan Fest events provide fans outside of the Provo area a unique opportunity to meet and interact with BYU student-athletes in their own communities.

BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier and reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year running back LJ Martin will be on hand to meet with fans during the event along with nearly two dozen of their football teammates as well as members of the men's basketball team.
In addition to meet & greets with BYU athletes, the Fan Fest will feature a variety of games, giveaways and activities to make it a fun-filled occasion for the entire family. BYU Store merchandise and BYU food concessions will be available, and the Cougar Club and BYU Alumni Association will also be on site providing information and connecting with fans.
