MBTA Schedule
The MBTA will run rush-hour service on the subway all day with some Commuter Rail trains having extra cars to accommodate fans. Ferries will operate on a normal weekday schedule.

*TICKET TIP* - Those taking trains, subways and buses are encouraged to purchase round-trip tickets in at advance to help ensure departure following the parade. Tickets can be bought at fare vending machines at commuter rail stops and on the mTicket app. CharlieCards are not valid on the Commuter Rail.

PARKING at MBTA garages runs from $2 to $15. Some garages may fill up quickly in the morning well ahead of the start of the parade as fans make their way into the city. People traveling into the city together are encouraged to also carpool to train stations to cut down on traffic and parking congestion there.

The WEATHER forecast for Boston on Friday is looking favorable with temperatures starting warm and a sea breeze developing late in the morning that will keep temperatures in the 80s for the start of the parade and drop it to the 70s later in the day.

Television Coverage - Watch at Home
And, of course, those who might not be up for dealing with the crowds in the city, you can always watch the parade at home with all major Boston television stations planning live coverage of the event.

In anticipation of hot temperatures, Mayor Wu and Boston public safety officials are reminding spectators to stay hydrated and use sunscreen.

Boston Police and Boston EMS will have a large presence along the parade route. The Office of Emergency Management will have misting tents out to provide cooling relief located at City Hall Plaza and the Boston Common, along with cooling towels.

Attendees are encouraged to take public transportation and to celebrate with good judgement representing the city of Boston and the Celtics with respect and pride.
