PARADE
October 17, 2025
Here at the University of Florida, we are excited to present the largest student-run parade in the nation! The UF homecoming parade, held on October 17, showcases many of the student organizations and sponsors that make homecoming week so special for all ages. This Gainesville tradition is a staple within the community. Whether they are watching live at UF or watching via television, tens of thousands of people watch the parade each year! Don’t miss it!

The entire Gainesville and UF community is welcome to attend this year’s Homecoming Parade, which is beginning at 13th Street and Museum Road. It will travel North and turn at University Avenue, where it will process until reaching Bo Diddley Plaza on Main Street. To prioritize the safety of our Gators, the parade route has been adapted to accommodate the speed tables on University Avenue. For more information contact parade@ufhomecoming.org.
