Homecoming in the Heart of Downtown
Join us in Downtown St. Cloud on Saturday, October 25 from 1–5 pm for a free outdoor concert celebrating St. Cloud State University Homecoming 2025! The concert will be held on the corner of West Saint Germain and 5th Ave. in the former Press Bar lot.
Get ready to rock with LA Gears — a Central Minnesota party rock band bringing the best hits from 90s. Their high-energy show will set the stage for an unforgettable day of music, community and Husky spirit.
Enjoy Bernick’s beverages from the beer garden, knowing that all proceeds will fund future St. Cloud Downtown Alliance activities and events! Grab to-go food from your favorite downtown bar or restaurant and bring it along to enjoy during the show.
When the concert wraps up, head over to the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center to cheer on Husky Men’s Hockey vs. Alaska Anchorage at 6 p.m. Be sure to stay for the fireworks after the game!
It’s the perfect way to celebrate Homecoming — downtown style.
