2022 HOMECOMING PARADE IS CANCELLED


Our Parade Theme for 2021:  "Bearcats Reunited!"  The Homecoming Parade is fast becoming one of our best traditions.  We have had a large number of student, departmental, and local entries in previous Homecoming Parades, and we are looking to continue the fun event this year!  McKendree Registered Student Organizations and other groups enter floats, cars, bands, horses and other walking groups to show off their McKendree Spirit!

The parade line-up begins at 10am.  We will begin the parade at 11am.  Please note that we will be using our normal route for 2021!  Directions of the parade route are below.

PARADE ROUTE 2021:  The route will start on the corner of Alton St. and Summerfield St.  Some entries will feed into the parade line-up north on Alton Street., from the north MPCC Lot and if necessary, Clover Street.  We will proceed down Alton St., then left onto Center Street, left onto Monroe Street, left onto Summerfield Street, and dismiss on Alton Street and Stanton Street.
