Rolling rally

even tho its ganna rain?

Ray Allen made it rain in Game 6 so I'm sure rain will not make a difference.

have you checked the weather forecast? It isn't supposed to rain...a SLIGHT possibility of a shower...won't stop me!!!

I'm from Jersey and I want to go to the parade, what street or area of boston is it going to be at? I appreciate any info ASAP so I can start planning my trip! GO CELTICS!!!

I'm just glad Menino waited this time!

If it is like the sox parade it will run right past the common and probably end up in the Charles, you can watch it from almost anywhere

rolling rally should be starting at the garden and head towards copley square

I don't know where the parade will start, but it always ends in City Hall. The parade always pass thru Copley and park street.

Go Celtics!

11am how can I pregame?

I think the parade is the same route for every title. it was the same for the red sox and patriots

I am from Venezuela want to go the parade, GO GO Celtics!!!!

jay from jersey - the parades usually start in back bay some where but bet to hang out by city hall plaza where they normally end up, have speeches, music (andhuge crowds) etc. THeyoften come down state street (from cambrudge st side) then go down Congress St to City Hall Plaza

I plan to attend the parade, please post the location here and let us know.. Thank you so much.

Do it on Saturday! I don't want the crowded train. Besides, I WANT TO GO!!!!

Go Green!

I work on Newbury St. so I hope they come down Boylston.

Oh goodie, a parade. So more drunk fans can make life miserable, like the ones last night joyriding up Beacon Street from 1 to 2 A.M., honking their horns and screaming and yelling. Why can't Boston sports fans celebrate without getting drunk and obnoxious?

i wonder if they'll show it on lyke espn or something i'd love to see it!

I wonder how they are going to do the parade. Usually they end up at city hall plaza, but the phantom gourmet bbq beach party is set up starting today through the weekend. There won't be any room for the Celtics celebration.

Is it gonna come all around New England like the Red Sox did in '04? Because I'm up in Portland and don't think I can make it to Boston.

My guess is that it will start at the Garden move up through Government Center, down Tremont Street past Park Street and then down Boylston, ending in Copley Square. With the BBQ and the close proximity of the Garden and City Hall Plaza, I doubt it will be ending there.

IT will probable start at TDBankNorth Garden and travel a main thoroughfare towards Boston Common and then on Copley Square. Cambridge STreet or Tremont is a good bet for the route. Maybe even Beacon going past the State House.

"Why can't Boston sports fans celebrate without getting drunk and obnoxious?"
This is not a Boston thing. It's a sports fan thing. And it sucks no matter where you live.

"even tho its ganna rain?"
Also, the weather was crappy the day of the Sox first parade. If you can't handle a little rain, please, do us all a favor, and stay home. And learn how to spell.

So the start time is 11am. I am coming from Stamford, CT and can't leave until 10am. Is the parade a half day event? If I take off, will there still be something to see by the time I get there, which will prolly be around 1pm. Thanks.

It's going to start at the Garden, go down Causeway Street and connect onto Tremont passing the Boston Common and turning onto Boylston Street and ending at Copley Square.

This one's going to be backwards from the usual route. It's going to start at the Garden and end up in Copley Square. They can't do anything at City Hall Plaza because the Phantom Gourmet BBQ Beach Party started there yesterday and runs until Sunday.

WISH THEY WOULD DO IT ON THE WEEKEND SO THE KIDS COULD GO...FINALS AT SCHOOL THIS WEEK SO HOOKY OUT OF THE QUESTION

Celtics won their 17th title on the 17th of June - 17 + 17 = 34 - Finals MVP is Paul Pierce who wears #34 - nice huh??

LETS GO CELTICS!!! I KNOW ITS STARTS @ THE GARDEN-I WORK ON STATE STREET AND MY BOSS GAVE ME PERMISSION TO COME IN @ 1PM!!!
**i hope i get to see most of it!!!****

BELIEVE IN THE GREEN!!!!!

There is a BBQ event set up on the Government Center plaza. They have fenced off the entire area. Are the planners aware of this? It's right outside their window, but they took yesterday off (Bunker Hill Day).

I am from Nepal and will be joining the parade to celebrate Celtic's win.

Glad to be in Boston.

yeah Boston people make life miserable.....it's been more than 20 years let us celebrate!! GO CELTS!!!

Buddy....that's how every sports fan celebrates.

First of all there is always room for the celtics no stupid beach party is going to ruin the parade..Sucks that i can't go, will be working at that time, but the parade mostly starts around back bay and down city hall around there..Nd no it doesnt tour around new england only boston!!

Gotta do it on Saturday so those of us who work and/or live out of town can enjoy it too!!!

will there be live online coverage...I am in Florida but would like to see it@

I am sure the parade route will go straight down Boylston. Like the Red Sox. I work on the street and we are already making accomodations. I would say if you come into boston for it you should go down Boylston St. a few blocks before the common... the common will most likely be PACKED. I would suggest parking outside of the city and taking the T in (to Copley). Exciting!

Parade will probably be on Boylston and Tremont, and end at City Hall Plaza.

cambridge st, tremont st, boylston st, and coply square

I heard it's going to start at the Garden, then go down Causeway St. to Tremont and Boylston and end up at Copley.

Do any of you guys have any idea how long the parade will last, my wife and i are flying into boston for the sox weekend series we should arrive @ logan appx 1:15, really would like to share in the experience, thanks

From what I heard this parade is not going to end at City Hall. I heard it was going to start at the Garden and end in Copley Sq.

Sorry Dave, Menino didn't "wait" this time. These parades take a few weeks of prep, so the city offices plan any parade well before any win. The only reason it made the news for the pats was someone thought parades can happen on 2 hours notice and was surprised they actually needed planning...

city hall plaza will be off limits as an event is already setup there running thru the weekend. Anticipate a rally ending at the Boston common as that is the only place left in the city to handle he crowds

from copley, down Boylston, turn left on Tremont street and up to Government ctr...

There is a BBQ event set up on the Government Center plaza. They have fenced off the entire area. Are the planners aware of this? It's right outside their window, but they took yesterday off (Bunker Hill Day).

The parade won't stop at City Hall, the Phantom Gourmet BBQ is going on this week.

Some people don't seem to really know what "drunk and obnoxious" fans really are. I am from Greece myself and when we won the European Soccer Cup in 2004 the whole country was on FIRE. People and sports fans here are pretty nice as my car was not smashed or turned over like some other countries.

Plus.....LET THEM BE!!!! IT HAS BEEN 22 YEARS MAN!!!

11 am start?? Menino better have the bars open at 6 am. I need to get my drink on.

"Oh goodie, a parade. So more drunk fans can make life miserable, like the ones last night joyriding up Beacon Street from 1 to 2 A.M., honking their horns and screaming and yelling. Why can't Boston sports fans celebrate without getting drunk and obnoxious?"

you're an idiot. This is Boston. This is what we do, it's who we are and its what we are about. Go move to LA and be a Lakers fan there wont be a parade there. I dont know why your'e so shocked about a parade... we have them everytime a sports team wins around here, why would it be any different for basketball? Also WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?!?! The celtics havent won since 1986- its time to celebrate!

TO the REAL fans of Boston teams:
I doubt the city of Boston would every have the parade on a saturday seeing how way more people would be able to go and they usually do show the parade live on TV but I think its just on local network stations.

I was listening to WAAF this morning and Wick was on talking to the Hillman and he said that the rally will start @ the Garden around 11 am and arrive @ City Hall Plaza around 12:30

I am from Venezuela too!!! can I also go to the Celtics Parade??? GO GO CELTICS!!!!
