A Note From The Hosts
W

For generations, this reunion has traveled with us, from front porches to back yards, from kitchens to chapels. This year it comes to Baltimore for the very first time, hosted by the next generation.

Think crab cakes and card tables, second helpings and long goodbyes. From the welcome on Wednesday to our last evening together, every day gives us a reason to gather. Wherever you're coming from, near or far, there's a seat here with your name on it.

Good Questions

Everything you're wondering.

Ask us anything.

Wednesday, November 25 through Saturday, November 28, 2026, in Baltimore, Maryland. Our home base is the Roost Baltimore, with events onsite and within walking distance.

This is the Watson family reunion, and our family runs wide. Watsons by blood, by marriage, and by branch, along with the close friends who have become family over the years, are all welcome here. Every generation has a place, from the littlest cousins to the elders who started it all.

Please book our family room block at the Roost Baltimore. These are full apartment-style suites with a living room, kitchen, and in-suite laundry, starting at $129 a night. It is the best value in the city and keeps everyone together. The booking link and group code will be posted on the Travel & Stay page.

Probably not. The Roost is about 15 minutes from BWI, and nearly everything is onsite or a short walk away. We will arrange transportation for the Saturday outing.

The weekend itself is covered by your hosts, including the meals, the events, and everyone's reunion t-shirt. All you will handle is getting to Baltimore and your stay, and the Roost family room block is the most affordable way to do that.

Comfortable and casual. There is no dress code, so come as you are. Everyone receives a reunion t-shirt, so add each person's size on your RSVP.

We have got you. Check the assistance box on your RSVP and tell us what you need, and someone from the family will reach out personally.

Register and share your email, and we will keep you posted with reminders and updates as the weekend approaches. Follow along with #BmoreThankful, too.

Still have a question? We're family. Just ask.
