So when is the Panthers’ parade? It’s tentatively scheduled for this weekend

SUNRISE — The Panthers repeated as champions with a 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.

Now it is time for a repeat parade.

The Panthers’ championship parade is tentatively planned for Sunday, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The parade will “most likely” be down A1A in Fort Lauderdale Beach, Trantalis said.

Last year’s beachfront parade drew an estimated crowd of at least 200,000 people despite pouring rain and lightning.

The 2024 parade was the culmination of a weeklong celebration that featured Panthers players pouring beer onto adoring fans at famous Fort Lauderdale Beach bar Elbo Room, a celebratory dive in the Atlantic Ocean with the Stanley Cup and massive crowds for any chance to meet the winning players.
