Homecoming week provides so many fun things not just for the college kids, but for families as well! Activities range from the 5K race, a children's carnival at the Student Union, the Homecoming Parade, and ending with the Kansas State University football team squaring off on Saturday!

As most locals know, the big night is Friday! Families pack Aggieville trick or treating, then stay and enjoy the Homecoming Parade. Some even get in a restaurant early enough to grab a table by a window so they can eat some dinner either right before or during the parade!
