As we prepare to celebrate Homecoming 2026, we are excited to invite our entire community to join us in celebrating one of our favorite Kenston traditions, the annual Kenston Homecoming Parade on October 7, 2026!

In coordination with the District, Administration, and Kenston Community Education, this year's event will feature an updated parade structure.

Highlighting 6th through 12th Grade Student Organizations and Teams
Beginning this year, parade entries will now feature students in Grades 6-12. This year’s procession features the amazing work, commitment, and leadership of our 6th through 12th-grade student activity groups and clubs, our OHSAA athletes, and our 6th-grade KCE youth athletes in their final KCE season.

While our preschool through 5th-grade students will not be marching or riding in the parade, our younger Bombers and their families will be the VIP guests on the sidelines! Kick off the fun early at our pre-parade Homecoming festivities, packed with food trucks, children's activities, a selfie station with Billy the Bomber, and music to get the party started. Then set up your lawn chairs or picnic blankets, grab prime spots along the new parade route, and get ready to catch candy, wave, and soak in all the magic of the Homecoming Parade. 

Enhanced Campus-Only Parade Route
To ensure a secure environment, the parade route will now take place entirely on the Kenston School Campus. Keeping the parade on campus allows for better supervision of participants, eliminates traffic and roadway hazards, and provides families with easier and safer locations to enjoy the Homecoming festivities. See the map for the updated parade route.

Thank you for your partnership and support as we work to refine this tradition, keep our students safe, and keep our school spirit strong. We look forward to celebrating with you.
