The California Golden Bears football team will host its 2025 Fan Day at California Memorial Stadium on Saturday, August 23. The event will offer the public a chance to watch the final day of fall training camp for free, starting at 2 p.m. PT.
Fans attending Fan Day can observe an open practice session and participate in several activities on Lisa and Douglas Goldman Plaza. Scheduled events include a Kids Zone with games, inflatable toys, face painting, and a photo booth. Food trucks and concessions will be available for purchase, along with official Cal merchandise. Attendees can also expect performances by the Cal Band & Spirit groups and an appearance by Oski, the school mascot. After practice, select players will take part in a meet-and-greet and autograph session.
During the event, Justin Allegri, known as the Voice of the Bears, will host an on-field show that features live interviews with key members of the program including General Manager Ron Rivera, Travers Family Head Football Coach Justin Wilcox, Co-Defensive Coordinators Terrence Brown and Vic So’oto, and Offensive Coordinator Bryan Harsin.
Before Fan Day begins, Allegri and Cal Hall-of-Fame quarterback Mike Pawlawski are scheduled to host a live radio show on KNBR from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., previewing the upcoming season.
