Every day has a different theme and includes food and entertainment.
This year's overall theme is "A Cultural Cocktail," including Hispanic Heritage Day, Western Day and Asian Day.
The week started with Asian Day. The activities included sumo wrestling, a karate demo, live DJ, and free egg rolls. Jed Wright, vice president of the Democrat Club, volunteered to be in charge of handing out egg rolls and supervising the sumo wrestling.
Wright said only a few people actually sumo wrestled.
"I'd say a majority are embarrassed," he explained. Frank Andrade wasn't embarrassed to put on the sumo suit, though.
After his sumo match against Adam Nesbin, he said, "It was fun, but tiring." When asked his thoughts on Homecoming this year, Andrade said, "We need a big win."
Tuesday was Hispanic Day including churros and piñatas. Today is Western Day.
There will be a mechanical bull to ride and tri-tip to eat. .
Thursday is Spirit Day. There will be a car bash and live music along with pizza and ice cream. All activities, and food provided for homecoming week are free of charge.
Events for Homecoming Week were created to get BC involved.
Sarah Cuellar, activities liaison of the Student Government Association, said the cultural theme was chosen to "Promote unity by celebrating diversity."
According to Cuellar, students need to be more involved and participate in events at BC. Cuellar said there is a problem with this at BC and these activities are created to get students excited about being involved in the activities of their college.
All the celebrations this week lead up to the big Homecoming game Saturday night when the Renegades host the Moorpark Raiders.
Both teams are 4-0 in the Western State Conference.
"We are going to win, no doubt," Cuellar said when asked who would win the game.
