Homecoming 2025

Welcome home, Bisons! Homecoming is a time-honoured tradition that brings everyone together to celebrate what it means to be part of the herd at the University of Manitoba. It's a wonderful way to connect with our alumni and community! 

Join us for the Bisons Block Party on September 20. Head to Princess Auto Stadium for family fun, live music, Billy the Bison’s birthday party, the new Bisons athletics logo reveal at the football game and plenty more throughout the day. 

It’s all part of Homecoming, running September 18–20. Explore more events across campus, including a concert, soccer game, campus tours and an inspiring speaker series. 

 We can't wait to come together again!
