2019 New England Patriots Super Bowl Parade: Date, Time, Route, Parking

The city announced details about the parade route and road closures on Monday morning

What to Know

  • Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced that the rolling rally will take place at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
  • The parade kicks off at Hynes Convention Center and will proceed down Boylston Street to Tremont Street to Cambridge Street to City Hall.
  • Roads along the parade route will be closed and parking will be restricted in many areas. The MBTA says to arrive early and expect delays.

The New England Patriots have won the Super Bowl for the sixth time in the Brady-Belichick era, and Boston is ready to celebrate.

The team's plane landed at T.F. Green just after 2 p.m.

The New England Patriots arrived home Monday afternoon from Atlanta after winning Super Bowl LIII.

When will the parade be held? 

Mayor Marty Walsh announced that the parade would take place at 11 a.m. Tuesday.

During a news conference Monday afternoon, Walsh asked parade-goers to respect one another.

"We're asking you to respect one another, to respect our streets, to respect our parks, to respect our neighborhoods, as the rally goes through the city of Boston tomorrow," said Walsh.

Because there will be kids and family at the parade as well as on the duck boats, Walsh said city officials do not want a repeat performance of what happened during the recent Red Sox parade when a fan threw a beer and hit manager Alex Cora and the trophy.

"Do not throw things, do not throw beers, do not throw anything at those boats, we don't want to see anyone get hurt while they're in town celebrating the parade," said Walsh.

Unlike previous years, Walsh said there will be no rally at City Hall Plaza.

"There will be no rally for a number of reasons but one reason is so our public safety officials aren't overworked in the sense of what happened this weekend and just logistically — a lot of the players head back home after the rally," said Walsh.

"LET'S GO!!!!" Walsh tweeted Sunday night. "Congratulations on another Super Bowl championship @Patriots!! Fire up the duck boats @CityOfBoston!"

Walsh later tweeted a photo of himself at the game with four-time Patriots Pro Bowler Lawyer Milloy. The mayor was wearing a Patriots "5X Champions" hat.

"Congratulations on number six @Patriots," Walsh wrote. "It's time to retire my old hat!"

What is the parade route?

The parade kicks off from the Hynes Convention Center and will proceed down Boylston Street, taking a left onto Tremont Street to Cambridge Street, and ending at City Hall Plaza.

Should I take the MBTA?

The MBTA has set up a special page on its website to help people navigate the public transit system on Tuesday. They are urging anyone riding the MBTA to budget additional travel time and expect longer commutes due to the large number of people who will be using public transportation. The agency will be operating a regular schedule on all lines.

After the parade on Tuesday, North Station's underground pedestrian walkway will be one-way and exit only from the commuter rail to the Orange and Green lines in an effort to ensure safety. At North Station, queue lines by train route will be utilized on Causeway Street in order to maximize the efficiency of loading passengers onto trains.
