About This Event

Everyone is invited this year — and it's free! We welcome current and former students, staff, faculty, retirees, and the general public to party with the Highlander family at Homecoming on November 7. Attendees will enjoy an exciting lineup of opening acts, including DJ Alf Alpha, a UCR alumnus (’07) and Coachella Music Festival staple; Figgy Baby, a non-binary Mexican rapper from Los Angeles; and Jacquie, the season 5 runner-up of NBC’s The Voice. The concert will culminate with a cross-generational headlining set by hip-hop pioneer Funk Flex. Pre-concert festivities kick off with a 21+ beer-and-wine garden, food trucks, giveaways, carnival games, a UCPD-led fitness challenge, and a dedicated Kid Zone hosted by Camp Highlander. ➡ To register or get more details about complimentary parking, food offerings, and prohibited items, visit homecoming.ucr.edu.
