The University of Idaho had an incredible homecoming weekend. From Serpentine and the parade, to a tough loss for the Vandals football team, community members and students came out in droves to show their Vandal pride.

Serpentine took place on Friday, Oct. 13. The Vandal Marching Band, along with hundreds of students, walked around campus and downtown. They finished the walk in the P1FCU Kibbie Dome parking lot where visitors tailgated for the coming game the next day. The night ended under the light of a drone show and fireworks.

On Saturday afternoon, before the football game, the Homecoming Parade marched through Main Street. Floats from many campus and community organizations participated, and the street bustled with people who came to enjoy the celebration.
