History
Hobo Day is the homecoming celebration of South Dakota State University and features a parade through campus and downtown Brookings, a Jackrabbits football game, and longstanding university traditions. The first Hobo Day was held on November 2, 1912. The event has developed into the largest one day celebration in South Dakota and serves as a central occasion for alumni to return to the university for athletic events and campus activities. Over time, Hobo Day has become an enduring part of South Dakota State University’s institutional history and student life.
