Los Angeles Dodgers unveil plans to celebrate 2024 World Series win

Less than 24 hours after the Los Angeles Dodgers became World Series champions, the team has already unveiled plans for a massive celebration in the City of Angels.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will celebrate their 2024 World Series championship on Friday morning with a parade through downtown Los Angeles and a special ticketed celebration at Dodger Stadium, the team announced Wednesday night after defeating the New York Yankees by a score. 7–6 and won the best result. of seven series in five games.

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

Coaches and players will celebrate the victory on double-decker buses. Fans hoping to attend the event have been advised to use public transport as the street closures are making parking very limited in the area.

Meanwhile, following the parade, fans were invited to a ticketed event at Dodger Stadium that will feature merchandise, food, entertainment and parade coverage on the scoreboard inside the stadium. Tickets for the event sold out just hours after going on sale. The Dodgers said traffic and time constraints made it “impossible” for fans to attend both events.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who will start 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 that Los Angeles 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 to the detriment of our communities and businesses will not be tolerated. I encourage you to continue to celebrate 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 and celebrate with you tomorrow!”
