Connectapalooza! is a celebration of the many ways that Goshen College connects us all — alumni, friends, locals and the countless other people impacted by the work of Goshen College. This event, part of Homecoming 2024 and the City of Goshen’s First Friday, will feature free music, food, drinks and much more. At Connectapalooza!, you’ll find…

• Free musical performances and more!
• Free refreshments, including an open pretzel bar and Menno Tea
• Even more concessions and food for sale, including a cash bar featuring a Goshen Brewing Company’s first pints of Broken Shield Amber Lager, brewed in collaboration with the college especially for this year’s Homecoming celebration.
