Homecoming weekend is ramping up, folks!

Penn State’s annual Homecoming Parade took to the streets of State College Friday night. Floats made their way from East Halls, through campus, down College Avenue, and up to the Lion Shrine in a route filled with music and celebration.

As always, our photographers were all along the parade route to capture all the smiles and moments. Let’s take a look back at some of our favorite photos from tonight’s parade.

The parade got started near East Halls, with ROTC and first responders leading the way.

Shortly after was Martha King, this year’s Grand Marshall.

There were some pretty impressive floats this year, too.

Besides the floats, there were also some tricked-out Penn State-themed vehicles!

All smiles for Penn State Homecoming!

Greek life organizations and clubs alike paraded down the route.

The parade eventually made its way down College Avenue as the sun began to set (behind the clouds).

What is your favorite sized CATA Bus?

From the Symbol of Our Best to the Bernese Mountain Dog club, there were so many furry friends.

And for the grand finale? The Penn State Blue Band.
