NY Liberty WNBA Championship parade: date, time, map and street closures

The New York Liberty will hold a parade on Thursday, October 24th, to celebrate their WNBA title. The event is set to begin at 10 a.m. ET, starting from Battery Park and proceeding up Broadway through the famous “Canyon of Heroes,” ultimately concluding at City Hall.

The Liberty’s victory marks a significant milestone, not just for the team but for the entire city, which has rallied behind them throughout their remarkable season.

What has New York City done to make the parade happen?

To accommodate the parade, several street closures will be in effect. Broadway between Reade Street and Battery Place, State Street between Battery Place and Bridge Street, and various other streets in the vicinity will be closed to traffic. These closures are essential to ensure the safety of both the participants and the spectators.

Following the parade, a celebratory event will be held at City Hall, where the team will be honored for their outstanding achievement. The festivities don’t end there; the celebrations will continue into the evening with a special event at the Barclays Center, providing fans with another opportunity to join when they can.

For those unable to attend in person, the parade will be broadcast live on ABC 7 New York and available for streaming online, ensuring that everyone can partake in this occasion.
