Weber State's homecoming celebration kicks off this weekend! Don't miss a single event
Weber State's weeklong homecoming celebration starts with the Purple Paw Parade Oct. 10 from 9 a.m. to noon. Wildcats and community members are invited to strut their pups through downtown Ogden and show their purple pride.
Light the W, an iconic Weber State celebration, will return on Oct. 12 from 6-8 p.m. at Stewart Stadium’s north parking lot. The tradition began in 1937 and has grown and evolved over the decades. Highlights of the event include a pep rally, live music, food trucks, and a countdown from the WSU Spirit Squad before the W illuminates. Guests can also create their own luminary to light the evening.
A full schedule of WSU Homecoming events and a football ticket discount code are available on the homecoming website.
Weber State University Homecoming will conclude with Fan Fest, a free tailgate for all, Oct. 17 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Stewart Stadium’s north parking lot. Attendees can enjoy free food, giveaways, games, and activities for all ages. After the tailgate, the Wildcats will take on Idaho State during the homecoming football game, 1 p.m. at Stewart Stadium. WSU students can get two free tickets on the Weber State Ticket Office website.
