The Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night, staging an impressive comeback from a five-run deficit to claim both Game 5 of the World Series and the 2024 championship. This marks the Dodgers’ second World Series win in the last five years. Unlike their previous victory in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dodgers can now celebrate with their fans through a championship parade in Los Angeles.
The parade commenced on Friday morning in LA. Here are the details:
Where to watch Dodgers parade
Start time: 11 a.m. PT (2 p.m. ET) | Date: Friday, Nov. 1
Live stream: CBS Los Angeles
Parade route: Beginning at City Hall, finishing near 5th/Flower Streets
Friday holds special significance as it coincides with the birthday of the late Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, who passed away on Oct. 22.
“It’s going to be emotional,” shared Dodgers manager Dave Roberts with reporters post-game. “Fernando was a friend of mine. I know he’s smiling right now and very proud of this organization. So he’s going to be missed. I’m sure it’s something that he would want to have been a part of, but it’s going to be emotional for all of us.
Here’s a glimpse of the parade route, as shared by the Dodgers on their official Twitter account:
The Dodgers will also be hosting an event at Dodger Stadium, although they have advised fans that attending both the parade and the stadium celebration may not be feasible.
This World Series triumph marks the eighth in Dodgers franchise history.
