The Homecoming Parade is one of the biggest highlights of Homecoming Week for students, alumni, and community members.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parade is on Oct. 25 at 10am. The route is on Huff Street from Broadway to Mark Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great opportunity to showcase your organization, department, or residence hall’s involvement at Winona State and in the Winona community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
