Homecoming Parade

Each year, Kansas State University alumni, friends and the Manhattan community gather for the highlight of All-University Homecoming Week: the parade.

The 2022 Homecoming parade will take place at 5 p.m. Oct. 28. The K-State Alumni Association encourages all campus groups to participate.

The parade route will begin at Manhattan Town Center and will proceed through Aggieville before ending in City Park for the Homecoming pep rally. 

Richard Linton, K-State’s 15th president, will serve as grand marshal of the parade. 

Prior to the parade, the Aggieville Business Association will host trick-or-treating in Aggieville. The pep rally will take place at the Larry Norvell Band Shell in City Park following the parade at approximately 6:30 p.m.

To participate in the parade, groups must register by 5 p.m. Oct. 21. There is no fee for K-State alumni or K-State affiliated groups, nonprofits and city/county departments. Entry fee is $50 and is due with the application. A late fee of $10 will be required for submissions received after the deadline. For registration and more information, visit k-state.com/Homecoming. 

Homecoming has been a tradition at K-State for more than 100 years. This year’s theme is “Wildcat Dreams.” The week-long celebration will take place from Oct. 23-29 and is facilitated by the K-State Alumni Association and the K-State All-University Homecoming committee.
