Homecoming Parade

The Homecoming Parade is one of the biggest highlights of Homecoming Week and is a great opportunity to show your club, organization or residence hall's involvement within the WSU and Winona communities. We ask that you incorporate the Blast From the Past theme into your parade entry to demonstrate creativity and energy. Remember: Your float is a direct representation of your image and what you are portraying about your group. Have fun with it, but be smart!
