Homecoming Parade

What do we love most about this unique Homecoming tradition? It began as a golf cart parade, and still embraces this tradition! Easy to decorate and a blast to watch, UTA invites your business to join in the celebration of Homecoming by participating in the parade.

The route takes floats and entries down Spaniolo Drive along the College Park District. All parade entries must be decorated accordance with this year's parade theme, which is Once Upon a Maverick, and pre-approved by the Parade Review Committee. Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants are welcome to enter the parade in one of several categories including Float, Golf Cart, walking entry, or Marching Band/Dignitary. Learn more at secure.touchnet.net/C21611_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=10&SINGLESTORE=true
