UW Oshkosh Homecoming Happenings
Homecoming week is packed with excitement and is a perfect opportunity to celebrate school spirit and community.
Titan Tailgate Celebration
Who goes to a football game without Tailgating? Sounds absurd doesn’t it? Before the game kicks off, join the Titan Tailgate on campus for free food and beverages (while supplies last), a photo booth, and other engaging activities from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the tents south of Titan Stadium, Josslyn St.! There will be free parking near the stadium, or campus lots with the exception of parking spaces marked with a Reserved parking sign. Concerned about finding good parking for Homecoming? Starting at 10:30am, buses will be providing transportation from Reeve to the Titan Stadium. This is a great opportunity to see the University at work, creating a fun day for everyone!
Titan Athletic Games
Of course, the highlight of Homecoming is the Saturday afternoon football game, featuring the 11:45 a.m. Titan March. This spirited event invites UWO supporters to cheer on the Titan Thunder Marching Band and the football team as they parade from Josslyn St. to Titan Stadium.
