Fish that are properly fed can go more than a week without food. They will be completely fine. Have fun!
Whatever you do, don't get a weekend feeder. They pollute your tank and very little of the block is actually eddible for fish. Goldfish don't need any help dirtying up a tank, so please don't risk them on a weekend feeder.

First of all, they make weekend feeders for fish. You can get them at pretty much any store that carries fish stuff.
Secondly, gold fish are survivors and scavengers. Though it's not nice to make them go without food, they can live surprisingly long without it. If there are smaller fish in the tank, the gold fish might eat them, or they will eat the muck at the bottom of the tank.
Just to put your worries at ease, go get a weekend feeder.

2 days they should be fine. I've know people leave fish for longer than that (I wouldn't go more than 2 days myself though).
Don't make the mistake of overfeeding them before you go, just give them their normal amount. Also give them a normal amount when you return, do not overfeed to compensate.
So don't worry, go and have fun with your friends!

depends on the type but most fishes will be fine withtout food for 2 days. you can buy blocks of fish food (frozen form the petstore) that gradually dissolve but only do this if they have a fairly large tank.

They are going to be absolutely fine, but don't use these block feeders, they will only pollute your tank
Hope it helps
