BOSTON – The duck boats are ready and the city of Boston will celebrate the 18th championship in Celtics history with a rolling rally Friday.
When will the Celtics parade take place?
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced that a rolling rally would take place in the city on Friday.
Officials will reveal more details about the parade at a news conference Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.
Boston Duck Tours posted “Cue the ducks” on social media overnight, with the caption “Who’s ready for a parade?” »
What is the Celtics parade route?
According to Wu’s office, the parade will begin at 11 a.m. in front of TD Garden.
After turning onto Causeway Street, the duck boats will pass City Hall Plaza and the Boston Common on Tremont Street.
The parade will end on Boylston Street near the Hynes Convention Center.
Boston heatwave impacts parade plans
City officials have an added challenge in planning Boston’s final championship parade. The Celtics clinched the title as a likely heat wave was about to arrive with potentially record temperatures in Boston.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its heat risk outlook, with parts of New England classified in the “extreme” risk zone. WBZ-TV executive weather producer Terry Eliasen called it “very rare” for the area.
Temperatures are expected to be in the mid to upper 90s Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in Boston.
At Tuesday’s press conference, the city plans to share its preparations for the expected high temperatures.
