111th Annual Hobo Day
- This event has passed.
What one thing unites campus, community and over 100 years of Jackrabbits? Say it loud: Hobo Day! The 2023 Hobo Day Committee invites you to join in celebrating our beloved homecoming tradition on October 14, 2023.
Hobo Day is the homecoming celebration for South Dakota State University and includes a parade through campus, Downtown Brookings, a Jackrabbits football game, and many unique traditions. The first Hobo Day occurred on November 2, 1912. Homecoming thrives at South Dakota State University and is the largest one-day event in the state. The return of alumni to their alma mater for a weekend of football, fun, and memories has flourished and grown over the decades, embodying the essence of Jackrabbit Pride.
