NY Liberty WNBA Championship parade: date, time, map and street closures
The New York Liberty, fresh off their historic 2024 WNBA Championship win, are set to celebrate with a parade.
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.
The New York Liberty won their first WNBA title after beating the Minnesota Lynx in overtime of Game 5, 67-62.
