September 27-28. This year’s Homecoming & Family Weekend gets a Centennial-themed twist. In addition to the usual fun, the weekend gets started with an old-fashioned Homecoming Parade. The route ends on campus, when everyone is invited to participate in a giant “Human 100” photo, to be followed by a 100th Birthday Party and Rally.

Saturday starts with kayak tours of Humboldt Bay, while in Arcata, the Farmers’ Market is in full swing. Meanwhile, Classes Without Quizzes offers scholarly talks you won’t even have to take notes on. Saturday afternoon features a big tailgate party, and after that it’s over to Redwood Bowl for the football game. Don’t miss it!
