From painting the “A” white during Echo from the Buttes at the start of a new school year and celebrating with Sun Devils of all ages at the annual Homecoming parade, to lighting up Tempe during the Lantern Walk and rallying the football team at the Block Party, Sun Devil traditions help define the cherished memories, unique personality and lively spirit of the maroon and gold nation.Continue ASU traditions
