One thing is certain as the leaves start to turn and the weather drops: HBCU homecoming season has arrived! HBCUs have been well-known for their exciting homecoming events that bring alumni, students, and members of the community together throughout the nation.

These festivities highlight the rich customs and distinctive cultures of each HBCU, with everything from step shows and parades to concerts and tailgates.

As homecoming season approaches, we've compiled a list of all the HBCU homecomings across the country that we'll be updating daily as we roll into homecoming season. So gather your school colors and get ready for the greatest celebration of black excellence in the world.
