In addition to the fireworks display, post-parade activities include performances by the Spartan Marching Band and the awards presentation for the best floats. Following the fireworks, alumni, students and friends can head over to Breslin Center for some late-night basketball fun with the MSU men's and women's basketball teams. Admission is free. Fans can get autographs and enjoy performances by the MSU Marching Band, MSU Cheerleaders, MSU Motion and Sparty. Contests, raffles and prizes will also be part of the festivities.
Scrimmages begin at midnight.
Before fans head to Spartan Stadium on Saturday, they can rally at the annual Green and White Pregame Brunch at the Kellogg Center. Special guests include President and First Lady Peter and Joanne McPherson, Homecoming Grand Marshal Coach Tom Izzo, Head Football Coach Bobby Williams, Athletic Director Clarence Underwood, the Homecoming Court, MSU Marching Band, MSU Cheerleaders and Sparty. For a small donation to benefit MSU Safe Place, the nation's only on-campus domestic violence shelter and program, guests can get a Homecoming Champion Cookie, decorated in a Spartan motif. Three specially marked sticks used as handles for the cookies will award one pair of tickets to either a men's basketball game, a women's basketball game or a Spartan hockey game. Other sticks will feature runner-up prizes.
