Los Angeles Dodgers World Series parade live updates: L.A. celebrates championship win over New York Yankees
The Los Angeles Dodgers have some celebrating to do.
This week's World Series win was their second in the last five seasons, but after the World Series in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, there was no formal celebration. So you could say they're more than ready to make up for lost time.
Our guys are very ready, very hungry for a parade,” manager Dave Roberts said after they won Game 3, via NBC4, which gave them a 3-0 series lead. “So nothing is going to get in the way of that, nothing.”
Friday's celebrations will begin with a parade through downtown Los Angeles, starting at Gloria Molina Grand Park in front of City Hall. Mayor Karen Bass will kick things off, and the Dodgers will ride through the city for about 45 minutes. Then, the team will host a special ticketed celebration at Dodger Stadium.

A bittersweet birthday for the Dodgers, who honor Fernando Valenzuela

Dodgers fans are set for an official parade on Friday — two days after unofficial celebrations got a bit rowdy
This isn't the first celebration in Los Angeles: After the Dodgers' Game 5 win in New York, fans partied in the streets, with the celebrations getting a little out of hand. More than 70 people were arrested after an unruly crowd of people set fires, vandalized stores and set off fireworks.
Friday's parade is expected to be more controlled, but still lively.
