Eagles Super Bowl Parade Set for Valentine’s Day Festivities

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles will celebrate their Super Bowl victory with a parade on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025, drawing expected crowds of over 1 million fans. After a triumphant 40-22 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, the Eagles are set to honor their victory in a parade that kicks off at 11 a.m. from Broad and Pattison avenues near Lincoln Financial Field.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Mayor Parker announced plans for the parade, stating, “We did it y’all,” referencing the Eagles’ historic win which ended a 58-year NFL championship drought for Philadelphia. The city has begun preparations, including barricades and porta potties along the parade route.

The parade will travel north on Broad Street toward City Hall and culminate at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A formal program featuring speeches from players and coaches will begin around 1 p.m., with festivities expected to conclude around 3 p.m. “This is a day for the fans, and we want everyone to celebrate safely,” Parker emphasized.

Fifteen jumbotrons will be set up along the route to ensure attendees can view the celebrations, while sign language interpreters will be present during the speaking portions. Accessibility provisions, including designated wheelchair spaces, will be available, although limited.

Road closures will begin as early as Tuesday, leading into a full closure on parade day. The inner lanes of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will be restricted, and local access only will apply to certain streets. The Philadelphia Police Department is collaborating with various agencies to maintain safety, urging spectators to refrain from any negative behavior. Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel stated, “What we cannot do is mar it with negative behavior that takes away from the day.”

Public transportation will be highly utilized, with SEPTA offering free rides on selected subway lines, funded by a local business. Rides on the Broad Street and Market-Frankford lines will run every 6-8 minutes starting at 5 a.m.

Schools across the School District of Philadelphia, along with many parochial and regional schools, will close on Friday in recognition of the event. The celebrations follow the path of the Eagles’ first Super Bowl parade in 2018, which attracted an estimated 1.4 million attendees.

Officials anticipate that the spirit of the city will be as vibrant as it was in 2018. The day is not only a parade but a chance for city residents to come together in celebration. “Philadelphia will put its heart on display once again,” Mayor Parker concluded. To stay informed about the event, residents are encouraged to sign up for free text alerts from the city.
