One Night. The Horseshoe. All Gamecocks.

Kick off Homecoming Weekend where it all began – on the Horseshoe. Friday night, we are turning this iconic spot into the biggest alumni party of the year. Think Southern eats, cold drinks, live music, and hundreds of Gamecocks celebrating under the oaks and string lights.

This is your chance to laugh loud, reconnect with old friends, and make new memories in the heart of campus. The Horseshoe has never seen a party like this, so be there when it happens!

Your ticket includes Southern-inspired bites plus an open bar with beer and wine all night long.

What to wear

Weekend wear with Gamecock flair! Whether it’s a casual dress, khaki pants and a polo, or your favorite garnet and black ensemble, dress comfortably—and be sure to wear shoes suited for the Horseshoe’s brick paths and grassy areas.

Checking in

Check-in will be located at the gate to the left of the South Caroliniana Library. Please have your Eventbrite ticket ready on your device. All guests must present a valid ID to receive a wristband for bar access.

Enter the Horseshoe from Sumter Street, near the South Caroliniana Library, and get ready for an evening you won’t soon forget!

One woman in a maroon sweater makes a hand gesture, while another wears a shirt with 'SC' on it, and the girl wears a jersey with 'CAROLINA' and the number '1'. The setting is lively with trees and a stadium structure visible in the background.
