2023 Pony Homecoming Carnival
Gear up to cheer on the Ponies with the 2023 Homecoming Carnival!
On Friday, Sept. 29 from 4:30-6:30 p.m., this free, family-friendly event brings people together to share Pony Pride at the Stillwater Area High School campus. Pregame fun includes giant inflatables, carnival games, professional face painters, and food trucks, as fans prepare for the 7 p.m. varsity football game against Forest Lake at Pony Stadium.
Volunteers for the homecoming carnival are still needed, and can sign up to assist with games and supervising inflatables. Any volunteers 12 years or older are appreciated as it takes many people to make this event a success! Sign ups for the two-hour event are available: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084BA5A62FA1FC1-2023#/
Tickets for the game against Forest Lake are available one week prior to the game exclusively on the HomeTown Fan App or online at stillwaterschools.org/tickets and start at just $5.
For the most up-to-date info on 2023 Homecoming and a complete list of events, check out our Homecoming page.
