Panthers announce Stanley Cup celebration parade details. What you need to know
Parade details for the Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup championship parade are out.
And it will look very similar to last year's celebration — just hopefully without all the rain.
The Panthers' 2025 Championship Celebration will take place on Sunday, starting at noon. The parade route along A1A will start at Riomar Street and end just north of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park across from Hotel Maren at Southeast Fifth Street. That's where the formal on-stage rally on stage will take place.
This is the exact route the team used for last year's parade when it won its first Stanley Cup. That celebration was delayed briefly by a massive downpour, but the crowd remained in full force at the beach.
During last year's celebration, players poured beer out of the Stanley Cup at fans on the street as the team made its way down the route on buses. Aleksander Barkov and Anton Lundell drank out of shoes. Dmitry Kulikov caught a fans phone and took a selfie. Matthew Tkachuk made an impromptu stop at the Elbo Room — because of course he did — as the parade caravan got toward the end of its route. Ryan Lomberg, now with the Calgary Flames, crowd surfed.
Every notable person in the franchise — from the star players in Barkov, Tkachuk, defenseman Aaron Ekblad and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to team owner Vincent Viola, coach Paul Maurice, president and CEO Matt Caldwell and president of hockey operations Bill Zito — spoke.
And fans enjoyed the jubilation of a championship.
Now, they get to do it again this weekend.
The forecast for Sunday afternoon in Fort Lauderdale: A high of 88 degrees with a 35% chance of afternoon thunderstorms and winds up to 12 mph.
Information on parking and additional details will be released in the coming days at and on the Panthers' official social channels — @FlaPanthers on both X and Instagram.
