Homecoming at The Florida State University is rich in tradition and pride. The first Homecoming was held in 1948, which started off very simple. The Parade was held on Saturday morning, followed by the biggest game of the year that afternoon. The week concluded with a dance. In 1950, the first theme for Homecoming was introduced:

“FSU All the Time.” Throughout the late 90’s and early 21st century the week

was expanded. In 2003, Skit Night and Warchant were introduced

to the schedule. Homecoming has become more popular

each year with students, turning into what it is

today.
