The Bonfire and Fireworks display will take place at 8:45 p.m. on Thursday, Oct 9 by Jake Christiansen Stadium. The pep rally will feature music from Concordia’s Cobber Band, speeches from sports team captains, and the COBBER cheer led by Cobber Nation. The night’s events conclude with the lighting of the bonfire and a dramatic fireworks show.
The Homecoming parade begins at 11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 11, and runs south on Eighth Street past the Bogstad apartments to Jake Christiansen Stadium. The parade is a chance for student organizations, alumni, area businesses, local bands and more to show their Cobber pride.
