Florida Panthers Set for Stanley Cup Victory Parade in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is gearing up for a grand celebration as the Florida Panthers prepare to honor their back-to-back Stanley Cup victory. The team secured their championship by defeating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the finals, and festivities are set to commence this Sunday.
The 2025 Championship Celebration will kick off at noon with a vibrant parade along State Road A1A. Starting at Riomar Street, the procession will wind its way to SE 5 Street, just north of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, where a rally will take place across from Hotel Maren.
Construction for the event's stage began on Tuesday, marking the start of preparations for what promises to be an unforgettable day.
Last year's parade attracted over 200,000 enthusiastic fans, undeterred by rain and lightning, showcasing the community's unwavering support for the team.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive early due to limited parking availability. Beach garages and those at the Galleria are expected to fill quickly, prompting many to consider rideshare options for convenience.
For those looking for alternative transportation, Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi is offering tickets from three locations: the Riverside Hotel in Las Olas, the Hilton Marina on the 17th Street Causeway, and GALLERYone on E Sunrise Boulevard near the Galleria Mall.
As excitement builds for this weekend's festivities, fans are ready to celebrate their team's remarkable achievement in style.
