ASU community descends on downtown Tempe for Homecoming parade, block party events
Students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community came together on the Tempe campus Saturday, Nov. 19, to celebrate the culminating events for ASU's Homecoming week — the annual parade, block party and football game.
The parade kicked off at 9 a.m. and featured student organization floats, the ASU Marching Band, colleges, departments, community organizations and more. More than 100 tents were on display at the block party where a range of ASU departments offered fun and educational activities for the whole family.
Following the block party, ASU took on Oregon State at 12:15 p.m. at Sun Devil Stadium, eventually being defeated 31-7.
