Everyone is invited to attend the 2023 Shocktoberfest Parade, the highlight of the weeklong celebration of Shocker spirit and pride. Participants will enjoy entertainment from the Shocker Sound Machine marching band, dance teams, and decorated cars and floats from student groups and community members. This year’s parade marshal is President Rick Muma and First Gentleman Rick Case. 
 
A parade route map and a full event listing can be found online at wichita.edu/shocktoberfest. The Parade will start at the Airbus Partnership building, proceed between The Flats and The Suites, and end at Braeburn Square. 
 
After the parade, meet up at Braeburn Square for the Shocktoberfest Patio Party. This casual and fun-filled gathering promises an unforgettable evening to connect with Shocker Nation. Enjoy food, drinks, live music, giveaways and prizes. 
 
Shocktoberfest is a university-wide initiative coordinated by WSU Foundation and Alumni Engagement and Student Affairs.
