Homecoming festivities are annual events held by schools, particularly high schools and colleges, to celebrate school spirit and reconnect alumni with current students. These celebrations often include a variety of activities such as parades, pep rallies, and sports events, particularly a football game that typically features the school's team. In addition to athletic competitions, homecoming festivities may also include dances, themed events, and community gatherings. Many schools crown a homecoming king and queen during the celebrations, recognizing students for their contributions to school spirit and involvement. Overall, these events foster a sense of community and pride among students and alumni.
