Parade

The entire Knoxville and campus community is invited to celebrate Homecoming 2024 at the annual parade watch party!


The ever-popular decorated floats will be on display, as well as a number of new additions to the lineup. The parade starts on Volunteer Boulevard across from Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium. The procession will head north towards Circle Park, where the judging will take place, and end down Peyton Manning Pass.

Prior to the parade, join us for a Rocky Top Rally right beside the Torchbearer. We’ll have various novelties and activities to get you excited for the Homecoming Parade and the big game in Neyland on Saturday.
