When Is The New England Patriots’ Super Bowl 2017 Parade? Date, Start Time, Route For Celebration In Boston

Less than 48 hours after winning their fifth championship in 15 years, the New England Patriots will celebrate in their hometown. The team’s Super Bowl 2017 parade is set for Tuesday morning in Boston.

Just minutes after the Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons in overtime Sunday night, completing the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, Boston mayor Marty Walsh announced on Twitter that the parade would begin at 11 a.m. EST Tuesday.

“Congratulations to the greatest team, the greatest coach, and the greatest quarterback of all time for winning their fifth Super Bowl victory in Houston,” Walsh said in a statement late Sunday night. “The Patriots have made Boston and New England proud - fire up the duck boats!”

The parade will start at Boylston and Dalton streets in Back Bay, turning onto Tremont Street and eventually making its way to City Hall. Boston Duck Tours is getting at least 24 boats ready for the parade, according to NECN.

It was just two years ago that the Patriots had their last parade, celebrating their Super Bowl XLIX victory over the Seattle Seahawks, which also came in dramatic fashion. Approximately one million people showed up, despite inclement weather.

The city was forced to remove 150,000 tons of snow in order to make the 2015 parade a reality after it was postponed for a day. Boston won’t face the same weather conditions Tuesday, though there is rain in the forecast.

Boston has become accustomed to hosting championship parades, having won 10 titles in the four major sports since 2002. The last team other than the Patriots to win a title was the 2013 World Series champion Boston Red Sox.
