The St. Louis Blues have announced more details on Saturday’s Championship Parade and Rally in celebration of the team’s first-ever Stanley Cup win.
Beginning tomorrow at noon, the parade will kick off at 18th and Market streets in downtown St. Louis. From there, it will travel east and end at Broadway and Market Street. The public is welcome to view the parade along the route.
Immediately following the parade, a special ceremony will be held under the Gateway Arch, featuring Blues players, alumni, team leadership and other distinguished guests.
Officials note that there will be three security access points to enter the Gateway Arch National Park grounds. Two entrances will be via Luther Ely Smith Square (located on Fourth Street between Market and Chestnut streets); another entrance will be on the north grounds of the Gateway Arch.
On the Arch grounds, soft-sided coolers with sealed, non-alcoholic beverages will be allowed (no glass containers). Concessions stands (cash only) selling water, soda and beer will be on-site.
Authorities are advising the public to arrive early, and be mindful of downtown road closures. They also encourage the use of public transportation. Ideal stops for MetroLink are the Busch Stadium, 8th & Pine and Laclede’s Landing stations. Rideshares should drop off at 14th and Olive streets, or 20th and Market streets for access to the parade, or 8th and Clark streets for access to the Arch grounds.
Both events will take place rain or shine.
