Everybody loves a parade, but not everybody gets the opportunity to be part of one.

This is your chance.

Entries are open for the 2015 CSU Homecoming Parade, set for Oct. 16. Deadline to sign up is Sept. 30, although late entries will be accepted with a $150 additional fee.

The Homecoming Parade has been part of CSU and Fort Collins tradition for decades, and each year thousands of revelers line the route through the heart of the city to cheer marching bands, floats, dancers and many other types of entries. The parade is part of CSUs Homecoming and Family Weekend, a tradition that dates to 1914.

“This is Our Time”

This year’s Homecoming theme is “This is Our Time.” Parade participants are encouraged to utilize the theme in their entry.

Campus (and education-related) entries are $100, while non-CSU entries are $225. Entry information and applications are available online.
