COVID-19 pandemic kept Western’s Homecoming celebrations relatively tame this year, but still attracted people to Broughdale Avenue on Saturday.The massive unsanctioned street party on Broughdale Avenue did not reach anywhere near pre-pandemic levels but did see pockets of students gather outside of houses and along the sidewalks.
The on and off downpour of rain may have also been a factor in the smaller turnout.Leading up to the event, there were a lot of concerns from community leaders about what might happen with students partying for Homecoming amid the pandemic, with past years seeing a crowd reach upwards of 25,000 students.
