Homecoming
Homecoming is a time for students, staff, and alumni to come together and celebrate what makes us Warriors.
WSU Homecoming 2024 celebrations start on Oct. 7 and ends with Homecoming weekend events on Oct. 10-12.
There are activities and campus traditions for students all week long with events such as the lip sync, Kryzsko After Dark, and a major campus speaker plus events for alumni.
Stop by a sales table on Sept. 30-Oct. 4 and Oct. 7-11 from 12-2 at the Gazebo (or Kryzsko Commons Lower Hyphen if inclement weather).
You can also purchase t-shirts from the Warrior Entertainment Network office in Kryzsko Commons when not outside.
The week is full of exciting activities for the entire campus, with traditional events like:
- Lip Sync & Royalty Coronation

The annual Homecoming Parade has a new route through the Winona State campus:

- go up the street between the Richards-Conway residence halls and the Science Laboratory Center (Winona & Wabasha Streets)
Spectators must stay on the grass along the designated parade route. Bathrooms are available in Kryzsko Commons, Memorial Hall, and Maxwell Hall.
Please help us maintain an Alcohol, Drug, and Smoke Free Campus.
