2023 NIU Homecoming 

Oct. 13-14

You can go home again.

Come celebrate Northern Illinois University’s 116th Homecoming, “Huskies Come Home!” from Oct. 8-15, on the NIU DeKalb campus. This week will include numerous Homecoming festivities and provide plenty of opportunities for you to celebrate your Huskie Pride!

Sign up for our Homecoming activities listed below and visit NIU's Homecoming landing page for details on University activities. For alumni and friends looking to participate in all three activities, we have a special bundle offer that will save you $20 on the combined cost of the events. Be sure to match your bundle option with your choice for the painting option for the Chelsea McGhee event (see below for painting options). 

Don't forget that Mission's Grove will be held from 11:30 a.m. up until our 2:30 p.m. kickoff against Ohio University at Huskie Stadium on Saturday afternoon. You can buy tickets to that game here. 

NIU’s Homecoming tradition is the oldest major-college tradition in the state and one of the longest-running in the country. We look forward to seeing you in October!
