Homecoming

Homecoming weekend is an opportunity for students, alumni, and the local community to come together around their love of purple and gold to cheer on the Ephs. Festivities include tailgating, a Spirit Tent and Chili Fest down on Farley-Lamb Field while cheering on the Williams Football team.

Can’t get to the Berkshires? Many regional associations hold watch parties.
