The 2025 Homecoming parade will kickoff at 5:30 pm from 17th and Woodlawn. Staging will be in the Assembly Hall parking lot. The parade will head South on Woodlawn to 7th St, ending in Dunn Meadow with a football pep rally. We encourage your group to stay for the pep rally if possible, but all vehicles must be removed from the parade route and parked safely and legally nearby.

Your entry will be assigned an arrival time and specific instructions on where to go at a later date. Keep an eye out for an invitation to a pre-parade meeting. The parade theme this year is There’s no place like Homecoming, plan accordingly. The judges will be looking to see if you have included the theme in your entry.
