Los Angeles Dodgers Celebration

The Los Angeles Dodgers have done it again! After an exhilarating season filled with ups and downs, the Dodgers have clinched the World Series title, bringing joy to fans and the city of Los Angeles. To celebrate this monumental achievement, a grand parade is set to take place tomorrow, November 1, 2024, in Downtown Los Angeles, and the excitement is palpable!

Parade Details

The parade will kick off at 11 a.m. at Gloria Molina Grand Park, right in front of Los Angeles City Hall. This prime location is conveniently located across the street from the Civic Center/Grand Park station on the B/D Metro Lines. For those coming from other areas, the Historic Broadway station on the A/E lines is just a short walk away.

From Gloria Molina Grand Park, the Dodgers will ride on double-decker buses along a festive parade route. The procession will start on 1st Street, travel down Grand Avenue, continue onto 5th Street, and culminate at the intersection of 5th and Flower Street. Expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with fans cheering on their champions as they make their way through the heart of the city!

Getting There: Metro Rail is Your Best Bet

If you’re planning to join the festivities, using the Metro Rail system is undoubtedly the best transit option. To avoid the chaos of driving and parking in Downtown LA, hop on a Metro Rail train. Many bus lines serving downtown will be funneled to four key Metro Rail stations, where riders can easily transfer to trains heading into DTLA:

• Union Station (A, B, and D Lines): Main entry point for those coming from the north or east.
• Westlake/MacArthur (B and D Lines): Ideal for travelers from the west.
• Little Tokyo/Arts District (A and E Lines): Perfect for those arriving from the east.
• Pico Station (A and E Lines): Great for visitors coming from the west or south.

Before you embark on your journey, be sure to plan your trip using Google or Apple maps, or visit metro.net for the latest updates.

Fare Information

Regular Metro fare is $1.75 one way or $3.50 for a round trip. Make sure to purchase your fare at the TAP vending machines located at all Metro Rail stations. Pro tip: Buy your roundtrip fare in advance to skip the lines!

Special Dodger Stadium Express

For fans heading to the ticketed celebration event at Dodger Stadium, the Dodger Stadium Express will be running from Union Station starting at 8:30 a.m. Remember, you must have an event ticket to ride the Dodger Stadium Express. Union Station is also a hub for Metrolink regional rail and Amtrak, allowing for easy transfers to the Metro A, B, and D Lines. Valid Metrolink tickets grant you free transfers to Metro, making it even easier to join the celebration.

Bus Detours

Please note that many bus lines in Downtown LA will be detoured for the parade. To stay informed about the latest bus service updates, visit metro.net.

Final Thoughts

With the Dodgers bringing home the championship, the parade promises to be an unforgettable day filled with pride, joy, and community spirit. So, grab your friends and family, wear your blue and white, and prepare to celebrate this remarkable achievement together!
