Eagles Super Bowl parade: Route, time and more
By Staff
The Philadelphia Eagles won their first championship since 1960, and the fans in the City of Brotherly Love are going to party well into the week.
You may have seen it, but in case you didn’t know, the folks in Philadelphia partied pretty hard after the Eagles won Super Bowl LII over the Patriots on Sunday night. Luckily for them, they will be able to party some more — hopefully like adults this time around — when the team holds its parade later in the week.
Details are sketchy at this point, but here’s what we know. The parade was reportedly happening on Wednesday. However, the weather forecast is calling for rain throughout the day, and that report has proven premature. We now have confirmation that it will be on Thursday. For what it’s worth, Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney had already told media outlets that he believed the parade will go Thursday, so keep your eyes open for updates if you plan on attending.
UPDATE
According to Jeff McLane, the parade has been scheduled for 11 a.m. ET for Thursday morning. The route will kick off at Broad Street before heading north and getting to the Philadelp Museum of Art.

While it would have made sense if they followed something similar to the Philadelphia Phillies’ route in 2008, that apparently isn’t in the cards.. That year, the Phillies went from 20th and Market Streets to City Hall before hitting Broad Street. After that , it was towards the stadium complex, which has buildings for the 76ers, Flyers, Phillies and Eagles.
