Baylor Homecoming Guide: Football, Traditions, & Parade

Though many institutions make claims and battle for the title of “First Ever Homecoming,” our very own Baylor University celebrated the official first collegiate homecoming with the Thanksgiving football game and parade in 1909. The event has morphed since its inception 115 years ago, but one thing remains true – homecoming serves to reunite the community and welcome Baylor alumni home. Whether you’re a seasoned Baylor Homecoming veteran (you know the best place to see the parade, you’ve packed your lawn chair, and you know the nearest place to find a Dr Pepper Float) or you’re a first-timer, our guide has you covered for an exciting homecoming weekend Oct. 24-26.
