BOSTON (WPRI) — The heat isn’t going to keep Celtics fans away from Boston on Friday.

 

Mayor Michelle Wu announced that a rolling rally to celebrate the Celtics’ 18th NBA Championship will be held at 11 a.m. Friday.

 

“We are so proud of the Celtics players on and off the basketball court and are ecstatic to host a celebration for banner number 18,” Wu said. “While we know how to host a parade in the city of champions, we are reminding everyone to celebrate responsibly.”

 

During the parade, the Celtics players will celebrate on Boston’s famous duck boats — a tradition for the city’s championship teams.

 

“What stands out most about this group is their dedication to being team players and winning as a collective group,” Celtics President Rich Gotham said. “They achieved a historic feat through hard work and dedication, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate with the most incredible fans in the world.”

 

The parade will start in front of TD Garden on Causeway Street, pass by City Hall Plaza and the Boston Common on Tremont Street and end on Boylston Street by the Hynes Convention Center.
