Homecoming will roar onto the Hill on Saturday, October 10th, and is designed for Gusties of all ages to come together and celebrate our shining community! You'll find hands-on activities and meaningful opportunities to reconnect with the departments and campus groups that are closest to your heart. Gather to cheer on the Gusties at the football game against St. Olaf College at 1 p.m., catch up over beers crafted by Gustie-owned breweries in the homecoming tent, let your kids run and play in the Family Fun Zone, and so much more. 

The $20 Homecoming All-Access Ticket includes breakfast and lunch, your ticket to the football game, access to all programming, and exclusive Gustie swag. Discounts are available for children, teens, and recent grads.

The Gustavus Department of Music is proud to present the College's four touring ensembles for a performance in celebration of Family Weekend. The concert will feature performances by the Gustavus Wind Orchestra, Gustavus Symphony Orchestra, Gustavus Jazz Ensemble, and Gustavus Choir.

Since 2023, the Department of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies has organized a lecture on the theme of the year's Nobel Conference in the week following the conference.
