Phew. After seven stressful games and a particularly nail-biting extra innings finale, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series\u2014again (the\u00a0frenzy of fireworks might\u2019ve tipped you off). After taking down the Toronto Blue Jays, it makes the Dodgers the first MLB team in 25 years to win back-to-back championships.<\/p>\n

Like last year, the team\u00a0won\u00a0on the road, which\u00a0turns their upcoming victory parade into an extra sweet\u00a0homecoming for Angelenos.\u00a0Here\u2019s everything you need to know ahead of Monday\u2019s parade through\u00a0Downtown L.A.<\/a>\u2014plus some insight from attending last year\u2019s parade. We\u2019ll also continue to update this story as more info is released.<\/p>\n

When is the Dodgers parade?<\/p>\n

The parade will be Monday morning, November 3, at 11am.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the parade route?<\/p>\n

The parade route is slightly different from last year\u2019s<\/a> so pay close attention: It\u2019ll kick off at Temple Street and Broadway, just above the northern edge of\u00a0Grand Park<\/a>. From there, it\u2019ll head west on Temple, then south on Grand Avenue until 7th Street, where it\u2019ll again head west, and then finally\u00a0north for a few blocks along\u00a0Figueroa Street (it\u2019ll wrap up at 5th Street).<\/p>\n

Do I need a ticket?<\/p>\n

Nope, and it\u2019s free to attend. But there\u00a0will be a ticketed celebration at Dodger Stadium<\/a> afterwards,\u00a0slated for 12:15pm; tickets for that go on sale Sunday at noon<\/a>. The team notes, however, that it won\u2019t be possible to attend both the parade and the stadium celebration based on the timing.<\/p>\n

How can I get there?<\/p>\n

For starters, you don\u2019t want to drive if you don\u2019t have to. Between the road closures and the thousands of fans, you\u2019re sure to encounter plenty of parade gridlock in addition to the normal Monday morning traffic. Thankfully, the parade route is pretty much right next to four\u00a0Metro<\/a> stations (Civic Center\/Grand Park, Grand Ave Arts\/Bunker Hill,\u00a0Pershing Square and 7th St\/Metro Center) and a handful of others are only a couple of blocks away (Historic Broadway, Union Station and Little Tokyo\/Arts District).<\/p>\n

How can I watch the parade from home?<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t blame you if you don\u2019t want to put up with the crowds or can\u2019t get out of work. Thankfully, you can easily watch from home: Expect the parade and stadium celebration to air on the MLB Network and MLB.com, while local coverage will begin earlier on\u00a0SportsNet L.A., CBS 2, NBC 4, KTLA 5, ABC 7, KCAL 9 and Fox 11, plus radio coverage on AM 570.<\/p>\n

Any other advice?<\/p>\n

During the 2024 parade, I dared to drive; I thought I\u2019d be smart and take Lower Grand Avenue, but that turned out to be closed to car traffic, which trapped me in a near-complete stop for a while. Once I escaped\u00a0that, traffic was actually relatively tame south and east of the road closures.\u00a0Though many surface lots were full, I found a garage about half a mile south of the parade route along Spring Street. But the crowd was so thick near the route that I was still about a third of a block back from the parade. So if I were to do it again? I\u2019d certainly arrive earlier and take Metro\u2014but I\u2019d highly encourage you to try to get on a train as far away from DTLA as possible, or you\u2019ll inevitably be left trying to squeeze onto an already-full car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phew.
