It’s been less than 24 hours since the Los Angeles Dodgers were crowned World Series champions, and the team has already unveiled plans for a huge celebration in the City of Angels.

“The Los Angeles Dodgers will commemorate their 2024 World Series championship Friday morning with a parade in downtown LA and a special ticket party at Dodger Stadium,” the team said. announced On Wednesday evening after a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees, they won the best-of-seven series in five games.

The parade will start Friday morning at 11 a.m. local time on Spring Street, in front of City Hall. The 45-minute parade route then winds from 1st Street to Grand Boulevard to 5th Street before culminating at the intersection of 5th Street and Flower Street.

Coaches and players will celebrate atop double-decker buses. Fans wishing to attend have been advised to use public transport as street closures make parking in the area very limited.

Following the parade, fans have since been invited to attend a ticketed event at Dodger Stadium, which will include merchandise, food, entertainment and coverage of the parade on scoreboards throughout the stadium. Tickets for that event sold out just hours after going on sale. Due to traffic and timing, the Dodgers said it will be “not feasible” for fans to attend both events.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who will kick off the parade from City Hall, expressed excitement Thursday but urged fans to celebrate “responsibly and safely.”

“Last week, I stood with City leaders to say LA is ready – ready to host the World Series, ready to welcome visitors from near and far and, most importantly, ready to win. Now we are ready to celebrate,” Bass said in a statement. “As I said last night, violence and dangerous behavior at the expense of our communities and businesses will not be tolerated. I urge you to continue celebrating responsibly and safely if you plan to attend the Dodgers’ celebration tomorrow. Congratulations again to the Dodgers – we can’t wait to welcome you back tomorrow and celebrate with you!”
