UW Homecoming Parade

Celebrate Everything You love about UW Show your Badger Spirit and join in the tradition of the Homecoming Parade! The Homecoming Parade began in 1913 as the UW Marching Band and alumni marched down State Street to the alumni bonfire. The parade is as beloved a tradition as any at this university, and it’s a great way to get ready for Saturday’s big game! Location The parade will begin at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Langdon Street. The route will proceed down Wisconsin Avenue to Gilman Street; floats will turn right onto State Street. The route ends at the corner of State and Lake. Get Involved Thank you for considering being a part of this year's UW Homecoming Parade.
