From what I have gathered, Homecoming is a social event for human youth that is usually held near the beginning of the annual schoolfeeding session. Traditionally, at Homecoming the student body is responsible for selecting the schooling block's ruling Emperor and Empress from its own numbers, so I can only imagine that there is some political significance to the event as well.
The literature I have perused on the subject suggests that refreshments will be served and consumed, fumbling dances will likely be attempted and hijinks of various degress of wackiness may or may not ensue. In other words it is like a gala or soiree for youth, only not nearly as glamorous or elegant. Still, it is the next best thing.
And you need to dress up because that is simply how things are done.
