In case you missed any of it, we’re here to recap it for you:
The on-campus celebration began Tuesday night with Dinner with the Livingstones — featuring free food truck fare for all students at the President’s house AND a free concert by Apollo LTD, a popular Christian pop duo whose song is featured in this year’s Baylor TV commercial.

Thursday night featured Mass Meeting, as Baylor students learned the story of the 10 Bears who died in a 1927 bus-train accident, as the Immortal Ten’s stories are told at the annual Mass Meeting during Homecoming.
Tonight, first-year students took part in Mass Meeting, where they learned about the #ImmortalTen – a story that unites all in the #BaylorFamily.
Then, together, #BU25 had a time of reflection with candles lit by the Eternal Flame.#SicEm | #BaylorHomecoming 🔥 pic.twitter.com/S0EElp2jPu

Friday night was absolutely buzzing, with alumni and students ready to celebrate Homecoming together! With Singspiration, Extravaganza, the Stroll-Off, 25th and 50th class reunions, and the Pep Rally/Bonfire, it was the perfect evening of fun, family, and some of our favorite Baylor traditions.
All weekend long, Pigskin Revue featured the best of Baylor students’ musical, Broadway-style acts from All University Sing.
Saturday morning, thousands of people turned out for the nation’s largest collegiate homecoming parade. This year’s celebration featured student-made floats, balloons, Grand Marshal Scott Drew, student and local organizations, and even a welcome to new Big 12 partner BYU. (Miss the parade? Watch KCEN’s broadcast, learn this year’s float winners, and get an up-close look at all the floats.)
Then Saturday afternoon, with a little Sailor Bear magic and in front of a sold-out McLane Stadium, Baylor football took down No. 19 BYU — the perfect ending to Homecoming!

Can’t wait ’til we can do it all again next year!
Sic ’em, Bears!
