Ross St. Parking Lot was transformed for a Carnival to top off our Homecoming Weekend. Homecoming is our annual celebration that brings our entire Falcon community together for an amazing fall weekend - from the Pep Rally to the Tailgate, to the Football Game, and more!

Our Homecoming Weekend continued with the Fitchburg State Football Team  vs. Framingham State at Elliot Field. 

Before this afternoon's football game, Homecoming Weekend continued  with the Falcons Tailgate at the Wallace Civic Center parking lot. Fans and family alike geared up for the day’s games with their own tailgate cookout. If you stopped by President Hodge’s Tailgate Zone, you got one of President Hodge's, literally, branded Fitch-burgers. Afterward, the festivities moved to Elliot Field where the Falcons football team took on the Framingham State Rams.
