New Parade Route, Same Golden Flash Spirit.
The Homecoming Parade has a new tradition of its own! Following last year’s move to an exciting route through campus, this year’s parade once again brings Kent State and the city of Kent together in celebration. Kent was recently named Ohio’s No. 1 college town and one of the best college towns in the nation, making it the perfect place to celebrate Homecoming. Mark your calendar and get ready to cheer on the Flash along the scenic route!
