One of the nation’s best homecoming traditions takes place at UCF.

Ahead of No. 22 UCF’s football game Saturday night, students can take to the Reflecting Pond on campus to participate in a pep-rally at noon and then charge into the pond at 1 p.m.

This. Is. UCF. – University of Central Florida Homecoming 2016

“In its 22nd year, Spirit Splash is the one time each year where the campus community is invited to charge into the iconic Reflecting Pond and cheer on Top 25-ranked Knights,” UCF said.

The annual throwing of the ducks will also take place at the Reflecting Pond. Free t-shirts and other items will be given out by the UCF Homecoming Committee.

Knight News will be there to take photos and video of the event. Follow us at @UCFKnightNews on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see this year’s coverage!
