Mark your calendars, Penn Staters. Homecoming 2018 will be held the week of Sunday, Oct. 7 through Saturday, Oct. 13, culminating in Penn State’s 99th Homecoming football game against Michigan State.
“Penn State Homecoming is looking forward to welcoming home alumni to continue the celebration of Penn State pride and tradition,” Homecoming 2018 Executive Director Ally Berdan said in a release. “We look forward to ending our week of exciting events surrounded by the Penn State community in Beaver Stadium.”
The scheduling marks a return to a more typical October date after a later-than-usual November Homecoming in 2017
The annual Homecoming parade will be held Friday, Oct. 12. Additional details on the week’s festivities will be revealed throughout the rest of the spring semester and leading up to Homecoming, including the Grand Marshal and annual Homecoming concert headliner.
Next up for Homecoming is revealing its 2018 theme in February at THON and its 2018 logo at halftime of the Blue-White game.
