Purdue Homecoming Parade canceled due to anticipated severe weather

The Purdue Student Union Board regretfully announces the cancellation of the Purdue Homecoming Parade, scheduled for this evening (Sept. 27).

This decision has been made in collaboration with Purdue emergency management partners, considering the anticipated severe weather conditions of rain throughout the day and the potential for winds 25 to 30 mph with gusts up to 55 mph. The safety of the community is always the top priority.

While the Purdue Homecoming Parade will not take place this year, homecoming activities will continue throughout the weekend. Visit purdueforlife.org/homecoming for information on homecoming events.
