Homecoming 2025 at the ‘Ville

A football game, live music, a block party, Maker’s Market, class reunions, trolley tours and more are a part of MU’s 2025 Homecoming.

Four women smile and pose with Millersville University’s mascot, a red bird wearing a black-and-yellow striped “Ville” shirt, during a homecoming event. The women are dressed casually, some wearing Millersville University and alumni shirts, and stand outdoors with tents, cars, and a food truck in the background.

Millersville University’s 2025 Homecoming celebration will take place on Oct. 3 and Oct. 4. 

Things kick off with the annual Millersville Parade, and this year’s theme is “Magic of Music.”  (Live stream available at https://youtube.com/live/ze-WLNoos04?feature=share.)

Students, staff, alumni, and community are invited to gather for the annual parade on Saturday from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Marching bands, floats, vintage cars and dancers, will fill George Street.

After the parade, join us for the Ville Block Party, Maker’s Market, class reunions, and trolley tours from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Food trucks, local businesses, live music, and nonprofit tables will line East Frederick Street Saturday afternoon. The Maker’s Market and Skully Shoppes will allow dozens of student and alumni vendors to sell handmade crafts and other unique items in the Student Memorial Center. Several classes will celebrate milestone reunion years, including the Class of 1965’s 60th on Friday night and 1975’s 50th after the parade. Additionally, tours of campus will continuously depart from the Lombardo Welcome Center.

The festivities will continue with the Homecoming football game against Shepherd University at 2 p.m. at Biemesderfer Stadium. New this year, guests will be able to view the game indoors at the Lombardo Welcome Center. (Live stream available at https://psacsportsdigitalnetwork.com/millersvilleathletics/.)

Also new this year, tours of the residence halls will be offered from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. from the Lombardo Welcome Center.

“Homecoming at Millersville has been bringing our campus and community together for over 90 years—dating back to its inaugural celebration in 1933,” says Joshua Belice, director of alumni engagement and two-time MU alumnus (classes of 2008 and 2010). “It is more than a weekend of events and traditions—it’s a time when all walks of Marauders come together to show school spirit and pride in the ’Ville. It’s one of the few moments where past, present and future Marauders all gather in one place, creating memories that carry forward our spirit and EPPIIC values.”
