Fall is in the air and homecoming is finally here! This homecoming weekend, the University of Wyoming Cowboys face off against the Utah State Aggies for the Bridger’s Battle rivalry. The festivities kick off in the morning with the Homecoming Parade down Grand Avenue into Downtown Laramie. The parade will begin at Cowboy Coffee on the corner of 14th Street and Grand Avenue traveling down Grand Avenue to 2nd Street and back up Ivinson Avenue to 9th Street.
