Homecoming Events
2026 Homecoming Events
Bakersfield College is calling all creative minds in the Renegade community and challenging
them to shine! Campus departments/offices, student organizations, teams, and faculty
are encouraged to be involved and show some homecoming spirit. Pick your favorite
artist, album, or music genre and show your spirit by decorating your office and department!
Student Organizations can partner with a department to create a poster in the Office
of Student Life (Campus Center East, 1st Floor) in the spirit of this year’s theme,
for display in our office.
The decorating/poster competition will begin upon the official homecoming announcement
on September 17th. Departments/ Offices will have creative liberty as long as it follows
the theme of music and various music genres. Decor should comply with all school codes
of conduct and remain respectful.

We welcome all teams to enter into our Homecoming Parade and Tailgade!
This is the final celebration before the big game! The Office of Student Life encourages all teams and community entities to go above and beyond this year, and bring their BC Homecoming Spirit with them.
Entries must incorporate the Homecoming theme into their walking/rolling floats. Parade team entries will be judged on creativity, visual appeal, and engagement. Please begin decoration of your team float early so it is exciting. There will not be a lot of time to decorate at check in, thus it is highly encouraged to come already decked out and enjoy the Spirit Booth! Please put some time and effort into these.
The Office of Student Life reserves the right to revoke any entry from the parade if the entry or team members are not abiding by the parade rules listed in this Homecoming Packet or at the discretion of the Dean of Students.
This year, we'll also have the great fortune of running the parade at the same time as the Alumni Tailgading so be ready to show off your best Renegade Spirit!
Due to new location restrictions, parade entries must be limited to either a people's procession, golf carts, or (in pre-approved cases) horses. No cars or small trailers may be used this year.
