Homecoming 2025 Recap: Reliving the Moments All About the Blue
Date: October 21, 2025
From Oct. 5-11, the campus and community came alive with concerts, a step show, and reunions that filled every corner with Bronco pride. The week built toward one of the most anticipated moments of all - the return of the Homecoming Parade to downtown Fayetteville.
On Saturday, clouds rolled in, and a cool fall breeze swept through the city as the sounds of drums echoed down Hay Street. Families waved, students laughed, and alumni lined the sidewalks shoulder to shoulder as the parade made its way downtown for the first time in years. Marching bands, dance teams, student organizations, and local partners filled the streets with movement and color. The morning pulsed with autumn energy, and every Bronco felt right at home.
Thousands of photos. Countless smiles. One unforgettable week.
Whether you joined us on the streets, cheered from the stands, or followed along online, thank you for making this Homecoming truly memorable.
Relive every moment in our Homecoming 2025 Photo Gallery and keep the pride alive with #FSUHomecoming and #AllAboutTheBlue.
Here's to the memories we created together, the Bronco spirit we shared, and the excitement for even greater homecomings ahead. We look forward to celebrating with you again next year.
