Florida Panthers Celebrate Back-to-Back Cups with Epic Parade Sunday!

Fort Lauderdale, Florida - The Florida Panthers are gearing up for a grand celebration in Fort Lauderdale, marking their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship. On Sunday, June 22, 2025, thousands of fans are expected to line the streets to cheer on their team during a much-anticipated victory parade.

Starting at noon, the parade will wind its way along A1A, kicking off at Riomar Street and concluding at Southeast Fifth Street, just near Fort Lauderdale Beach Park. As the excitement builds, WPTV and Scripps Sports will provide live coverage, ensuring fans at home can soak in every moment of the festivities beginning at 11 a.m.

Parade Details

After the parade, attendees can look forward to a rally featuring speeches from players, coaches, and executives, set to take place from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Does the atmosphere promise to be electric? Absolutely! Local authorities predict around 125,000 fans will show up to celebrate this monumental win.

Those planning to attend should be aware that road closures will start at 6 a.m., impacting Northbound A1A and streets leading to it from North Birch Road and Seabreeze Boulevard. Streets south of Vistamar Street will also be closed to facilitate the parade festivities. So, it’s a good plan to park away from the barrier island and consider using alternate transportation methods to reach the parade route comfortably.

Transportation Options

For those relying on public transport, Broward County Transit (BCT) offers shuttle services from the Broward Convention Center starting at 8 a.m. and continuing until noon, with return services running from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Additionally, BCT will provide free express bus service from the Heron Parking Garage to Harbor Drive during the same time frame. It’s wise to anticipate some wait times and delays, especially during peak hours, so patience will be key.

• Free parking is available at the Heron Parking Garage.
• Additional paid parking options include the Broward County Convention Center.
• Water taxi services will also be operational, offering a scenic option to join the celebrations.

Attendees are encouraged to bring plenty of water—especially with Sunday’s weather forecast hinting at the possibility of rain, albeit likely tapering off by the time the parade is underway. Free bottled water stations and first aid tents will be scattered along the route to ensure everyone’s well-being.

Safety First

While the mood will be jubilant, it’s essential for everyone to stay vigilant, as incidents of pickpocketing have been reported in large gatherings. Keeping an eye on personal belongings and being mindful of surroundings is always a good strategy. Any suspicious activity should be reported to local law enforcement or by dialing 911.
