Homecoming events across the UNL campus will take place Friday, including the rejuvenated Cornstock festival. The festival, which is free and open to the public, is 5 to 8 p.m. on the plaza immediately east of Memorial Stadium.
The event will feature a performance by Husker student Noah Floersch, food available for purchase, a Ferris wheel, balloon artist, inflatable games and 1,200 ears of grilled corn to be given away for free.
The annual homecoming parade starts at 6 p.m. The free public parade will start south of the Nebraska Union, moving east on R Street, north on 16th Street and west on Vine Street to the East Stadium plaza. In addition to floats built by registered student organizations and community groups, participants include the Cornhusker Marching Band, the Spirit Squad, 2021 homecoming royalty and student groups.
The homecoming jester competition will follow the parade on the East Stadium plaza. A full list of Homecoming Week events is available here.
