The beauty of Baylor Family: Recapping Homecoming 2024
Every Saturday at McLane is like a Baylor Family reunion — but Homecoming weekend is THE annual family reunion, the one you don’t want to miss.
Thousands of Bears made their way home to Waco this past weekend for a practically perfect Baylor Homecoming 2024. For those who couldn’t make it — or for those who want to relive it — we bring you a look back at the weekend:
The on-campus celebration began early in the week for students, with Monday night’s Homecoming Worship service (presented by Vertical Ministries) and Tuesday night’s Dinner with the Livingstones (featuring free food truck fare for students).

Thursday night featured 10 at 10: A Mass Meeting Experience, during which the story of the Immortal Ten was passed down to a new class of students (who then began building the Bonfire in preparation for Friday).

Friday was packed full of activities for both alumni and students! From Homecoming at the Hurd and the Class of ’74’s 50th reunion, to Singspiration and the Royal & Pure Homecoming Stroll-Off, and on through to the Pep Rally and Bonfire, it was a day full of fun, family, and 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 Wacoans, Baylor alumni & students turned out for the nation’s largest collegiate homecoming parade. This year’s celebration featured more than 100 entries, including student-made floats, balloons, student and local organizations, and more. (Miss the parade? Watch the complete broadcast online.)
