Join us for the 2023 Built on "the Hill" Homecoming Parade!
The parade will be held in downtown Canton on Saturday, October 28 and is slated to begin at 9 a.m. For those individuals and businesses who would like to submit an entry for the parade, please click the link below and fill out the registration form before 5 p.m. on October 7 to ensure we are able to send all necessary details to you regarding the parade lineup and preparation well in advance.
If you have any questions regarding the parade or registration, please call Missy Dubuque '88 in the Office of Advancement & Alumni Programs at 573-288-6343.
Details coming soon to submit an entry for the parade.
Before registering for entry into the parade, please familiarize yourself with the rules:
- Riding on top or outside of vehicles without safety belts, truck beds or rails is prohibited. Do not cling to or ride on the outside of vehicles. Trailers of semi-trucks are okay to sit on.
- All drivers of floats or vehicles shall possess a valid driver's license. The vehicle used in the parade to transport individuals must be insured.
- Please, no throwing candy, confetti or other items from floats. This is very dangerous. We do, however, encourage walking along the sides of floats and handing out candy and toys! THIS RULE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED!
- Participants riding any type of motorcycle, 4-wheeler or bike are required to wear the proper helmets once they leave the parade route. Helmets are not required along our route; however, you are required to wear them once you have completed the parade.
- No discharging of firearms allowed.
- Alcoholic beverages are forbidden on any float or vehicle or on the person of any participant. Entries will be taken out of the lineup during the parade if there is obvious disregard for this rule, and invitation may be withheld in the following year.
Disregard of the rules will be cause for ejection from the parade formation and possible denial of future parade participation.

This year the tailgating experience will be offered on campus during Culver-Stockton College events. By following the College tailgating policy and ensuring individual and public safety, we hope all of our alumni, Wildcat fans and friends enjoy the experience! Please remember to be respectful and use good judgment while tailgating at Culver-Stockton College. Currently, students and student organizations are not able to obtain a tailgating spot, but they are allowed in the tailgating area with friends or family. Individuals are no longer required to reserve a spot ahead of time. Instead, spots will be available in the area on a first come, first serve basis. You must review and agree to all guidelines listed in the tailgating policy or you may be asked to leave the tailgating area by security. Remember spots are available on a first come, first serve basis.
