University of Idaho Homecoming
Homecoming is one of our institution's longest running traditions and 2020 will mark its 112th year. It is a time when we come together as a community to celebrate being Vandals and, even though we are in a time of uncertainty, the Vandal Family is strong and resilient. Homecoming Part 1 will look different this year, but the week-long festivities will still feature community service and online competitions, all of which will culminate in the Fireworks Extravaganza on Saturday night! In spring 2021 we hope to have the Homecoming Part 2 with the traditional events you know and love back with flying Vandal colors!
We are excited this year to offer virtual homecoming events during the week of October 4-10. Tune in and take part in traditions and activities you can enjoy with classmates and friends around the world and watch the fireworks show from the comfort of your own home. See below for all the details. Some virtual meetings and events require pre-registration. (All times PDT.)
