About Homecoming
The University of South Florida Homecoming is a week-long celebration of USF pride and Bull spirit. It is one of USF's longest traditions, dating back to 1964, the year after USF's first graduating class.
Homecoming is the most popular annual celebration of USF students, alumni, and the
campus community. The university comes alive during a week of exciting events, including
the kickoff pep rally, lecture, student competitions, concert, carnival, parade and
the Homecoming Ball, where a Homecoming Court is crowned representing each of USF's
three locations. The festivities culminate with the annual Homecoming Football Game
at Raymond James Stadium.
