Red Sox parade 2018: Date, time, route, and other details about the World Series celebration

The Red Sox clinched their fourth World Series in 14 years Sunday night, defeating the Dodgers four games to one and 5-1 in Game 5 to seal the win. The Red Sox, and Boston as a whole, are pretty well-practiced as far as championship parades go so details are already emerging about the big shindig later this week.

According to WBZ Boston, the parade will kick off at 11 a.m. Wednesday, on Halloween morning. A big party in Boston on Halloween — what could go wrong? For the 11th time since 2002 and the fourth time for this franchise, athletes will roll through the city on duck boats with their families, waving to adoring fans.

The city confirmed plans Monday morning.

Fingers crossed this comes to fruition. You said it would happen, David.

Road Closures

Boston is encouraging as many people as possible to take public transportation to and from the parade to make things easier on the city’s infrastructure on Wednesday. If you’re familiar with Boston’s public transportation you know this is easier said than done. But they’re trying.

If you’re not all-in on the MBTA then you can drive. But beware of parking restrictions if you’re driving in or live in the area!
