Ongoing construction in downtown St. Joseph has led to a slight change in the route for Missouri Western State University’s annual Homecoming Parade, which begins at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15.

The staging area will still be at Union and Frederick Avenues. The floats, dignitaries and other participants will travel southwest on Frederick, and will be joined by the Golden Griffon Marching Band and high school bands at City Hall.

The parade will proceed west on Jules Street to Fifth Street, then south on Fifth to Francis, and west on Francis to Tenth Street, where it will disband.
