San Francisco To Host Ticker-Tape Parade For Giants
In celebration of the San Francisco Giants' win in game 5 of the World Series, the city will host a ticker-tape parade from its Financial District to Civic Center Plaza on Wednesday, Nov. 3.
The parade will start at 11 a.m. at the intersection of Montgomery and Washington streets and will continue onto Market St. for six blocks.
The parade will end with a celebration on the steps of San Francisco City Hall, where Mayor Gavin Newsom will present the team with a key to the city.
The parade route is the same that the team took in 1958, after the team had been relocated from New York City.
The team is scheduled to return to San Francisco International Airport at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, although no public or media events were scheduled with the arrival of the team's charter.
"San Francisco eagerly awaits your return," Newsom said to the Giants organization. "We cannot wait to celebrate your triumph in Texas."
