Cultural Experience

Greenville College Homecoming Parade 2014

October 24, 2014 at 4:00 pm

I attended the parade with Laura Mullen

            The parade was a lively event filled with people who fully support Greenville College. There were floats that were colorfully decorated that represented all aspects of the college. There were floats for the different organizations and sports teams. There were even participants in the parade not from the college. Greenville’s middle school and high school bands performed. I thought that was a neat idea to get younger children involved in the community of Greenville College.

The atmosphere was excited. Both the participants of the parade and the people watching were really enthused and happy to be there. The children’s faces lit up as they saw the candy come flying their way. I could tell this was an event that the community looked forward to and came to support each year. The streets were lined with Greenville residents. It surprised me how many people from the city came to support the college.

I will most likely go to this event next year. Though most of the participants will be the same, there will be different floats and different decorations to go along with the parade. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.
