Rolling Toomer’s Corner after a win 🎊 or grabbing Toomer’s lemonade on a hot day 🍋? Auburn Traditions that Feel Like Home
In Auburn, some traditions just feel like home. Whether it’s the confetti of white toilet paper floating through the oaks at Toomer’s Corner after a big Auburn win or the tart-sweet perfection of a Toomer’s lemonade on a scorching Alabama afternoon, these moments capture everything people love about living here.
For many of us who grew up around Auburn University, rolling Toomer’s Corner isn’t just a celebration — it’s a ritual of joy, pride, and togetherness. Families line up with rolls of tissue, kids laugh under the trees, and alumni who moved away find their way back just to be part of the magic.
And then there’s that iconic lemonade stand — the same spot that’s been cooling down locals and students for generations. There’s nothing like standing outside Toomer’s Drugs, sipping a cold lemonade, and watching the buzz of downtown Auburn swirl around you.
