Fall Festival's Torchlite Parade

Description

Carnegie Tech's Kiltie Band bagpipers lead the Torchlite Parade down Forbes Avenue, past Theta Xi fraternity's display (based on the Greek myth of Phaeton and the Chariot of the Sun) with horses trampling St. Vincent College's Bearcats football team. The parade started at Donner Hall and will end at the bonfire being held on the Edward's Lot behind Morewood Gardens. The Torchlite Parade is the beginning of Fall Festival on the campus of the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
