Florida State University has formally announced musical artist Flo Rida as the featured performer for its upcoming concert, organized in celebration of the institution's 175th anniversary.
The performance will take place at Dick Howser Stadium on Friday, November 20th, with gates opening at 8:00 PM. Admission is complimentary for FSU students; however, valid ticketing is required for entry.
Prior to the evening concert, festivities will kick off with the annual Homecoming Parade at 3:30 PM. The parade route begins at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center and concludes at Doak Campbell Stadium, featuring an extended path for the 2026 commemoration.
Following the parade, the Seminole Live! 175 Homecoming Carnival will be held from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Main Campus Fields. The carnival will offer live entertainment, interactive games, and amusement rides, accessible free of charge to both the FSU student body and the broader Tallahassee community.
Homecoming week spans from November 13 through November 21, incorporating a schedule of official events, including Spirit Night, Homecoming Court balloting, a silent disco, and an extravaganza step show.
Under the official theme, “Tradition Takes the Spotlight," Florida State University aims to honor its institutional heritage while fostering campus unity and Seminole pride throughout the celebration.
