HOCO PARADE ENTRY

Our 2026 Homecoming Parade theme is officially… POP CULTURE PALOOZA!

From Screens to Streams, We’re Living the Dream in Ingram!

This year, we’re celebrating all things pop culture — movies, TV, music, gaming, social media, streaming, and more! Think big, get creative, and have fun with it. From iconic characters and unforgettable shows to viral trends, favorite artists, games, and everything in between, there are so many ways to make this year’s parade one to remember.

More than anything, we want this parade to showcase what makes Ingram special: community, spirit, creativity, and Warrior pride. Small town, big dreams — and one incredible Warrior Nation!

Let’s make HOCO 2026 bigger, stronger, louder, and full of Warrior spirit!

Same people. Different platforms. Still legendary.

Please share this with your groups, organizations, teams, classes, clubs, and anyone else who wants to join the fun.
