Homecoming Tailgate on Black Excellence Row, hosted by the UCLA Black Alumni Association
October 24 All day
Join UBAA for our annual Black to Westwood Homecoming Tailgate, where Black Bruins of every generation come together before kickoff for good food, good drinks, and plenty of Blue & Gold pride. Experience Black Excellence Row in Lot H. Last Year, we won tailgating of the game. Let’s win it again.
We’re bringing the full spread from Uncle Niles BBQ: smoked ribs, hot links, and smoked chicken with baked beans, coleslaw, and fresh rolls. Lady on the Rocks will run the bar, keeping the drinks flowing until it’s time to head in and cheer the Bruins on against the Spartans.
Bring your family, your line brothers and sisters, your old roommates, and whoever you haven’t seen since graduation. Grab a plate, find your people, and get loud. This is Homecoming the way it should feel: all of us, all together.
