All you need to know about Dodgers Championship parade in downtown LA: Date, timing, route & more

Nothing beats a Dodgers victory parade—get ready, LA, it's party time!

Get ready, LA! The Dodgers will celebrate their World Series victory with a big parade through Downtown Los Angeles this Friday. Here’s everything you need to know about attending the parade, route details, and how to join the festivities at Dodger Stadium. Whether you’re there in person or watching from home, we’ve got you covered.

When and where to catch the parade

The celebration kicks off Friday, Nov. 1 at 11 a.m. PT. The parade begins at Gloria Molina Grand Park on Spring Street, right in front of City Hall. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will start the event, setting off a 1.2-mile route that’s expected to last about 45 minutes.

Dodgers players, coaches, and staff will ride in style atop double-decker buses, moving down 1st Street to S. Grand Avenue, and ending at 5th and Flower Street. Fans are encouraged to arrive early, as large crowds are expected. Due to street closures and tight parking, public transportation is highly recommended.

Plan ahead for the Dodger Stadium celebration

After the parade, the action moves to Dodger Stadium for a special, ticketed event starting at 12:15 p.m. Parking gates open at 8:30 a.m., with stadium entry beginning at 9 a.m. This celebration will feature food, merchandise for purchase, and live entertainment.

For those joining the stadium event, the DodgerVision scoreboards will air live parade coverage, so you won’t miss a moment. Remember, usual Dodger Stadium rules apply: leave signs, large bags, and other restricted items at home to keep security lines moving smoothly.

How to watch the parade from home

Can’t make it to Downtown LA?

CBS 2, NBC 4, KTLA 5, ABC 7, KCAL 9, and Fox 11, will broadcast the entire event starting at 9:30 a.m. Radio coverage will also be available on AM 570.

You can catch the energy of the parade from anywhere, as streaming options on local channel platforms will keep you in the loop.

Dodgers parade route and transportation tips

The 1.2-mile route will close major streets in Downtown LA, so getting to the parade will require some planning.

Start at Gloria Molina Grand Park, where the parade begins at 11 a.m., then follow the route through 1st Street, S. Grand Avenue, and 5th Street, with the final stop at 5th and Flower Street. Plan on a roughly 45-minute parade experience.

With limited parking options, we highly recommend taking the Metro. The nearest stops include Civic Center/Grand Park, Pershing Square, and 7th Street/Metro Center stations, all conveniently close to the parade route.

Dodger Stadium event highlights

By 12:15 p.m., the Dodgers will arrive at Dodger Stadium for the official fan celebration. Expect more than just a victory lap—there will be entertainment, exclusive Dodgers merchandise, and local food vendors, making it a true party for the fans.

Proceeds from the ticketed event will benefit the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, which supports education, health care, homelessness, and social justice initiatives across Los Angeles.

Don’t forget, stadium policies will be enforced, so plan to keep bags and any unapproved items at home to make entry easier.
