The University of Nebraska-Lincoln celebrated Homecoming 2021 Oct. 1-2 with several events.
The Cornstalk Festival Oct. 1, near Memorial Stadium, included food trucks, booths, balloon artists and free ears of corn for attendees. There is also a parade highlighting the homecoming court, sororities and fraternities, and other student-run organizations who either walked or rode in cars from the student union to Memorial Stadium.
Student tailgates are set up outside of Selleck Hall, before the homecoming game on Oct. 2, where the Nebraska football team started the pregame unity walk to the stadium.
