There's something special about Homecoming season at East Tennessee State University. It's a time when campus comes alive with school spirit, longtime traditions and opportunities to celebrate what makes the Buccaneer community unique.

This year, ETSU invites students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members to celebrate Homecoming from Oct. 26-Nov. 1 under the theme "Red, White, Blue, and Gold."

The theme brings together ETSU's signature colors and a spirit of patriotism in honor of America's 250th birthday. Throughout the week, Buccaneers will have opportunities to celebrate their university, connect with one another and enjoy a variety of activities.

From athletic competitions and student traditions to live entertainment and community gatherings, Homecoming offers something for everyone.

Whether returning to campus to reconnect with familiar faces, cheering on the Bucs, or discovering Homecoming traditions for the first time, students, alumni and community members are invited to take part in this annual celebration of ETSU pride.
