LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers will commemorate their World Series title on Friday with a parade in Downtown Los Angeles and a special ticketed celebration at Dodger Stadium, the club announced on Wednesday night. Both events will be televised in their entirety on MLB Network, as well as a simulcast on MLB.com, Spectrum SportsNet LA, local television channels and AM 570. Due to logistics, traffic and timing, fans will not be able to attend both events.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. PT at Gloria Molina Grand Park on Spring Street in front of City Hall. Mayor Karen Bass will officially kick off the parade, which will then continue on a 45-minute route from 1st Street to Grand Avenue to 5th Street, culminating at the intersection of 5th and Flower Street, with members of the Dodgers traveling atop double-decker buses. Fans wishing to attend the parade are emphatically encouraged to take public transportation due to significant street closures and limited public parking.
Following the parade, a special ticketed event at Dodger Stadium will begin at approximately 12:15 p.m. For fans attending, parking gates will open at 8:30 a.m. and stadium entry gates will open at 9 a.m. Food and merchandise will be available for purchase. In-stadium entertainment, including coverage of the parade on DodgerVision scoreboards, will precede the arrival of the team. All Dodger Stadium guidelines and rules will apply to this event, including the reminder not to bring in signs, bags or any other items that aren’t permitted under our policies.
Television coverage of all of Friday’s events will begin at 9:30 a.m. on SportsNet LA and local channels CBS 2, NBC 4, KTLA 5, ABC 7, KCAL 9 and Fox 11. Radio coverage will air on AM 570.
A portion of the proceeds from the stadium event will be donated to the Los Angeles Dodger Foundation, which is tackling the most pressing problems facing Los Angeles with a mission to improve education, health care, homelessness and social justice for all Angelenos.
