What to expect from the New York Knicks' NBA Championship victory parade
The Knicks will take the legendary New York City parade route known as the "Canyon of Heroes," running north along Broadway through the same route that once hosted ticker tape parades for NASA Astronauts returning from Moon missions, and much more. All of the Knicks stars are expected to be on hand, including Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and the rest of the team.
The parade will run north to City Hall Park, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani will greet the Knicks at City Hall for a live ceremony commemorating their victory. The 2026 NBA Finals marked the first Knicks appearance in the NBA Finals since 1999, and their first victory since 1973, so it's bound to be a celebration for the ages.
