Message to Philadelphia Eagles fans: There’s a parade on Thursday
Thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory in Super Bowl LII, there will be a parade in ‘The City of Brotherly Love’.
Expect February 8th to be a very emotional day in ‘The City of Brotherly Love’. Expect for this to be one of the days where you’ll always remember what you were doing. Well, that’s the case if you’re a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles anyway. For all of you, February 8th is a day that you’ve waited on for quite some time. On Thursday, there will be a parade to celebrate the first Super Bowl victory in team history.
It’s the first time since 1960 that the Eagles have won a championship in professional football, and it’s the first time they’ve ever hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. Expect the citizens of Philadelphia and everyone else who’s in attendance to get a glimpse of that trophy on Thursday.
Here’s how things will go on that day.

From there, the path is westbound on JFK Boulevard to 16th Street, and after that, you can catch a glimpse of the festivities when the floats head northbound on 16th Street to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Finally, the path heads westbound on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to Eakins Oval, and everything ends with a ceremony at the Art Museum.
