CSU’s annual Homecoming Parade has a new route and for the 1st time in parade history, it will end up in the new on-campus stadium.

Route

The parade, which is led by the CSU Marching Band, begins in its traditional launch site at 4:30 p.m. Friday (10/13) at the corner of Oak and Howes streets. And, as in the past, it marches south on Howes and enters campus via the famed Oval.

The 2107 parade will exit the Oval at the southwest corner, wind its way through the Lory Student Center plaza and then connect with University Avenue heading west to Meridian Avenue. The parade will head south on Meridian before ending at the new stadium.
