The Howard Payne University Homecoming parade, a community tradition, will be held Saturday, October 25, at 9:15 a.m. The parade will follow a new, longer route this year so that more people in the community have an opportunity to enjoy it.

Beginning at the Brownwood Coliseum, the parade will travel north on Baker St., turn left onto Center Ave., move across Austin Ave. and enter campus. The procession will end in front of HPU’s Doakie Day Art Center on Center Ave.

The parade will feature student-designed floats and other attractions including the HPU Yellow Jacket Marching Band. Additionally, there will be a variety of floats and participants from the community.

“We hope everyone makes plans to attend this fun event,” said Stephen Sullivan, director of development and alumni relations. “All of the participants are working hard to put on a parade everyone can enjoy.”
