Έχω καταλήξει στην γενική απόδοση "ετήσια γιορτή" (του πανεπιστημίου, κολεγίου, σχολείου). Και παραθέτω κείμενα από πηγές που με οδήγησαν σε αυτήν τη λύση για όσους έχουν όρεξη να διαβάσουν. Δεν είναι απαραίτητα στην αρχή της ακαδημαϊκής χρονιάς.
In American football, an "annual homecoming" typically refers to the game played by a college or high school team at their home field, usually near the middle of the season, and during or around the school's homecoming weekend.
Homecoming is a tradition in universities and colleges in the United States, where alumni, current students, faculty, and staff come together to celebrate their school and its achievements. The tradition usually includes a series of events leading up to a football game, which is typically played against a rival school.
Homecoming week typically includes a variety of events such as:
- a parade featuring floats made by student organizations
- a pep rally with speeches and performances by student groups
- a coronation ceremony where a Homecoming king and queen are crowned
- a bonfire and other activities to build school spirit
- a dance, which is traditionally held on the Saturday night of homecoming weekend
- and the homecoming football game, the center of the event.
The goal of homecoming is to foster a sense of community, tradition, and school spirit among alumni, current students, faculty, and staff, as well as provide a opportunity to reconnect with each other, reminisce about their time at school, and celebrate the achievements of their alma mater.
