Celebrate Homecoming 2023 with the Sanford High School Student Council at our parade on Alumni Boulevard! Mark your calendars for Friday, October 13th at 4 p.m., as we kick off the festivities at the tennis courts on Alumni Boulevard and conclude at the Gil Dionne softball field.
The Homecoming Parade was a longstanding tradition at Sanford, and we have been fortunate to receive tremendous community support throughout the years. This year, we invite you to join us once again and witness the hard work and dedication of our talented students.
All of our student floats will be designed around the theme of "Children's Storybooks." This promises to be a fantastic family event! Below is the lineup for the parade:

To ensure that everyone can fully enjoy the parade, we kindly request spectators to park at the high school no later than 3:30 pm. This will allow ample time to secure a spot along the lively parade route on Alumni Boulevard. Please note that after 3:30 pm, Alumni Boulevard will be closed off until the conclusion of the parade. If you arrive later, we encourage you to park off campus and walk to the parade route.
For easy access, all traffic will enter from the Main Street entrance as the Route 4 entrance will be closed to the public. Once the parade wraps up, Alumni Boulevard will reopen to the public, allowing for smooth traffic flow as we transition to the football game at 7 p.m.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the spirit of Homecoming. We look forward to seeing you on October 13th at 4 pm on Alumni Boulevard!
