New Yorkers Are Set to Fete the Knicks with a Ticker-Tape Parade
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the parade may be the largest in city history, with 200-plus past events on the route and keys to the city planned.
- On Thursday, New York City will host its first-ever ticker-tape parade for the Knicks, celebrating the NBA title clinched Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani celebrated the end of the 53-year NBA title drought on Monday, saying "We've been waiting 53 years for this," and noting that many residents were not alive to see the team's previous success.
- The procession will follow the historic Canyon of Heroes on Broadway, stretching from Battery Park to City Hall, a route that has hosted more than 200 parades since 1886.
- Mamdani advised fans to arrive at the 10 a.m. start as early as possible, while emphasizing safety preparations for the large gathering and urging students with Regents exams to prioritize their tests.
- The celebration includes a kickoff near Battery Park and a ceremony at City Hall where the team will receive keys to the city, replacing the informal receptions past administrations had favored.
