Description

Leadership Waco is joining one of Waco’s most iconic traditions, the Baylor Homecoming Parade!

Leadership Waco alumni and their families are invited to walk the parade route together as we celebrate 43 years of leaders who have helped shape Waco and McLennan County.

It’s a chance to reconnect with classmates, meet alumni from across four decades of Leadership Waco, and see just how far the impact of this program reaches. Imagine looking around and seeing generations of Leadership Waco graduates, people who have led organizations, served our community, built businesses, volunteered, advocated and invested in this place we call home.

Come help us celebrate the legacy of Leadership Waco and the people who continue to carry it forward.

The pace will be leisurely, the atmosphere will be fun, and families are welcome. We’d love to have every Leadership Waco class represented!

A few early-morning logistics (we promise it'll be worth it!):

Getting there and parking

-Plan to park on Baylor's campus by 6:00 a.m. We encourage everyone to park in the Collins Parking Lot.

-From there, you'll catch a shuttle to our parade starting point near the Baylor Bookstore on 5th Street, not far from the Bear Habitat.

-This is the easiest way to get back to your car after the parade!

Finding our place in the parade

-We'll meet and line up at 8th Street and Austin Avenue by 6:30 a.m.

-The parade begins downtown at 7:00 a.m. and is expected to reach Baylor's campus around 7:30 a.m.

What to wear

-If you have a Leadership Waco parade shirt, wear it! Pair it with some seriously comfortable walking shoes.

-Shirts can be picked up at the Chamber once they arrive. I'll let you know when they're ready, or I'll bring yours with me Saturday morning.

-Don't have a shirt? No problem! Wear blue or green and gold and join the fun.
