FSU’s All About The Blue Homecoming 2025 is just around the corner, and we’re excited to share several key updates to help you prepare for a safe, festive, and unforgettable celebration:

Parade Relocation  
The FSU Homecoming Parade will now take place in downtown Fayetteville to help reduce on-campus traffic and ease parking congestion. You can view the full parade route here .

Parking Adjustments  
Due to limited on-campus parking, guests may also park at E.E. Smith High School (1800 Seabrook Rd, Fayetteville, NC 28301). Shuttles to the FSU campus will be provided. Handicap-accessible parking will still be available on campus. For more information, please visit our Campus Parking page.

Shuttle Services and Golf Cart Assistance  
FSU will provide Shuttle service from the parking lot of E.E. Smith High School. On-campus golf carts will be available for attendees who need mobility support.

Vending & Tailgating  
Vending and tailgating will remain in their traditional locations—so get ready to enjoy the food, fun, and festivities!

Center Stage & Greek Plots
Center stage activities will move to the East Quad area near Starbucks. Please note: the Greek plot area will no longer host a stage or DJ but will remain open. Student Affairs, in collaboration with Police & Public Safety, will partner with alumni and Greek-lettered organization leaders to activate Homecoming Safety Ambassadors throughout the weekend.

Event Schedule  
All university-sponsored events will conclude by 7:00 pm on Saturday, Oct. 11.

We look forward to celebrating with you and making Homecoming 2025 a memorable experience for all. Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check the Homecoming website regularly for the latest information.
