Every year, HBCUs across the country celebrate homecoming with parades, exciting events, and action-packed football games. Alumni, students, and community members come together to honor the traditions that have played a central role in their lives and create new memories that will last a lifetime.

HBCU Homecoming Events

Although most alumni, students, and community members attend homecoming to watch football, there are plenty of events that you can attend during the week to learn more about your HBCU’s history, traditions, and culture. Whether you’re interested in Greek life, parades, or the homecoming coronation, you can find the best events by checking your school’s calendar.

Did you know? – Southern University selects one student to serve as Miss Southern University New Orleans every year. Her Royal Court inspires other students to participate in all of the events that take place during homecoming.

Alumni Events

Homecoming is not just for students! Alumni from across the world travel to HBCUs to celebrate homecoming with their friends, family members, and former professors. In addition to batch events, many HBCUs hold barbecues, concerts, and fundraisers to give their alumni an amazing experience.

Food, Fun, & College Gear

Whether you’re interested in amazing food or college swag, the vendors that participate in homecoming are a vital part of your experience. From t-shirts to custom bags, shoes, and hats, these retailers can help you represent your school on game day.
