Go Maroon and Gold During Homecoming Week!
Northern State University Homecoming Week and Gypsy Day Parade are the highlight of the year in Aberdeen, South Dakota, as the king and queen are crowned, and the Northern campus and community display their pride in the NSU Wolves. The week includes a variety of Wolves games and other events and culminates in the annual Gypsy Day Parade—the largest parade in South Dakota.
We look forward to hosting our students, alumni, families and the community for homecoming. Go Wolves!
