Join the celebration of our Back to Back Stanley Cup Champions – The Florida Panthers – On Sunday, June 22 at 12 p.m. at Fort Lauderdale Beach! The Championship parade along A1A will begin at Riomar Street and will conclude just north of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park (across from Hotel Maren) at SE 5th Street where the formal rally on stage will take place!
This is your chance to see the Stanley Cup and entire Florida Panthers team, their families and organization as they make their way through the iconic Fort Lauderdale Beach. Last year’s parade (even with the heavy downpours) was estimated at 200,000 – This year’s celebration is anticipated to be even larger .. Especially given a more favorable weather forecast.
Pro Tips:
- Parade begins: 12:00 Noon, Sunday June 22
- Downtown Residents: Expect heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic, especially heading east towards the beach and around all parking garages
- Want the most energetic views along the parade route? The intersection of Las Olas Blvd and A1A, and northbound for several blocks
