10/16/26

🕑: 10:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Parade

Info: Parade line-up will start at 8 am for groups and organizations marching in the Parade. The Parade celebration starts at 10 a.m. While the parade is a gift to the community and free for spectators to enjoy, your registration fee plays a vital role behind the scenes. It helps cover the high operational costs—from city permits and professional security to float logistics—that make a grand-scale procession possible. By registering, you are directly supporting the tradition and ensuring our milestone year marches along with the prestige it deserves. Come decked out in your Green + Gold attire and be prepared to cheer your hearts out!!

Open House/Alumni Mixer
