While Alabama will kick off against the Mississippi State Bulldogs for the 2022 homecoming game, fans and students can enjoy all the festivities and traditions leading up in another jam-packed week, including the parade with former Olympian and UA alumna Lillie Leatherwood serving as grand marshal.

You can see the amazing lawn decorations by University of Alabama sororities and other student organizations, plus businesses participating in the Paint the Town Red competition beginning around noon Friday, Oct. 14.

QR codes will be displayed outside each business and lawn display for everyone to vote on a favorite. Voting will be cut off around three hours before kickoff, according to UA.

The 2022 homecoming theme: “Legends Live Forever.” For more information, visit the UA homecoming website.
