Lincoln University is getting ready for Homecoming 2026. From Oct. 17–25, students, alumni, and visitors will come together for a week filled with school pride, entertainment, shopping, and exciting events. This year’s theme, “ROAR: Return of a Renaissance, The Centennial 26,” celebrates Lincoln’s history and traditions.
Homecoming kicked off on Saturday, with the Wellness Patio and Centennial Shabang Fireworks. Throughout the week, attendees can enjoy the 1-8-5-4 Carnival, career fairs, professional headshots, Puppies N’ Yoga, and the Lion’s Den Pop-Up and PhotoFest. There will also be live entertainment, including the Community Stage and Queen Key performance on Oct. 22. On Oct. 23, the soccer game and Greek Step Show will bring more excitement.
One of the weekend’s highlights is LionsFest, taking place on Saturday, Oct. 24, from noon to 6 p.m. at the Niara Sudarkasa International Cultural Center. LionsFest is a great opportunity to connect with the school community and explore vendors and small businesses. Specific vendors have not yet been listed on the event flyer, so attendees should check official university announcements for more details.
Homecoming concludes on Oct. 25 with a service at the Mary Dod Memorial Chapel at 10 a.m. From the vendors at LionsFest to the Greek Step Show and Homecoming game, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
