Homecoming weekend is officially underway at Walt Whitman High School.

The festivities started Friday afternoon with a carnival. There’s also a controlled bonfire lit by the Huntington Manor Fire Department and the annual powder puff football game.

The powder puff game is a decades-old tradition, where the juniors take on the seniors with bragging rights on the line.

Walt Whitman High School will hold its homecoming parade and football game on Saturday.
