By Globe Staff
A rally celebrating the Red Sox' first American League East title in 12 years will begin today at 4 p.m. at City Hall Plaza, closing a major road downtown and putting in place parking restrictions.
From noon today until the rally ends sometime after 7 p.m., southbound Congress Street will be closed from New Chardon to North Street. The MBTA has increased service. The public is encouraged to take public transportation.
No parking will be allowed on either side of Cambridge Street, a ban that the city says will be strictly enforced.
City Hall will close at 4 p.m. for the rally.
The Red Sox and city officials also want to remind the public that the rally is a family-friendly event and public drinking laws will be strictly enforced. Boston Police will be conducting random bag searches of people coming onto City Hall Plaza.
