Homecoming 2018 & Balloon Glow
Homecoming 2018 is next weekend, September 20-23, 2018! Join us for a fun weekend with alumni, friends and family!
Help us kick-off Homecoming Weekend 2018 at the annual Homecoming Balloon Glow on Thursday, September 20. This FREE event runs 6:00pm - 10:00pm. The QU homecoming parade starts at 6:30 (18th & Lind and will travel south on 18th Street to Oak, east on Oak to 20th and north on 20th to Friars' Field), followed by the pep rally, and the balloon glow at dusk. Watch balloonists fire their burners and light up at the same time for a spectacular hot air balloon display.
