At 9:30 a.m. this morning, the Homecoming parade commenced as the floats, created by various organizations from UCF and the surrounding community, drove from Greek Park to Memory mall.
With this year’s circus theme, the floats were sheltered by circus tents and the like, and everyone seemed to be dressed as a circus nut, a carnival freak or, of course, the year’s most overplayed costume: the joker.
For nearly an hour, floats passed by the crowd showing off campus leadership, organizations, politicians, the homecoming court and local organizations such as the Bahia Shriners and the Mustang Club.
Fans were thrown beads, shirts coupons and candy. When it ended, everyone went back to tailgating and getting ready for the game at noon.
Check back for updates and play-by-plays from the game. Good luck Knights!
