Homecoming

This Year's Featured Event

HocktoberFEST Pregame Festival
_{October 19, 4-6 p.m.}

You won't want to miss DU's signature Homecoming event—HocktoberFEST! Before our 10x National Champs hit the ice, join us inside DU’s Gates Field House and the surrounding outdoor area for a free, family-friendly festival you won’t want to miss!

Here’s what we’re planning:

Family Fun: Bounce houses, yard games and activities galore—the perfect way to let the kids run wild in a safe, enclosed environment.
Beer Garden: Featuring alumni-owned brews, wines, and spirits—a perfect place to connect with new and old friends.
Music & Giveaways: Get into the spirit with tunes and DU swag that will show off your DU spirit as you cheer on our Pios against Northeastern.
Veterans Thank You Project: Join us in assembling swag bags and writing thank you cards for DU veterans, service members, and military families. It’s a great way to give back and connect with our community.
