Your guide to the Eagles parade. Where are the best places to watch?
The City of Brotherly Love is celebrating its favorite, and quite possibly its best, sports team with a parade sure to rival other celebrations around the country – fittingly taking place on Valentine's Day. Shortly after the Eagles' dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 9, to clinch the franchise's second Super Bowl title, the city and the Eagles director of corporate communications confirmed the parade will be held on Friday, Feb. 14. Celebrate the Eagles' Super Bowl win with our new book Here's a look at the parade, where to watch and other details to help you make the most of this historic event: The parade will commence around 11 a.m. in South Philadelphia's Broad Street and Pattison Avenue intersection and headed north on Broad Street and ending at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. The official ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. on the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps and end around 3:15 p.m. During the Eagles' 2018 Super Bowl win, hundreds of thousands of fans flooded Philadelphia's Center City streets, some lining up before the crack of dawn. It's anticipated that over 1 million fans will take to the streets on Friday morning. The parade will begin at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue outside of Lincoln Financial Field and work its way up Broad Street, wrapping around the west side of City Hall and moving up Ben Franklin Parkway before ending at the art museum. To gauge the best spot to watch the parade and subsequent ceremony, consider your tolerance to a few things: crowds, bladder stamina, cold and rowdiness. The more crowd-averse you consider yourself, the further south you should go. As you get closer to the art museum, expect the crowds to be bigger and likelihood of a good view more improbable. Subscribe to Eye on the Eagles Also, consider how early you plan on getting to the parade. In 2018, fans began lining up before dawn to secure their spot. Officials said that jumbotrons will be set up along the parade route, so if you're looking to avoid the crowds, look for a big TV that will be airing the event. The USA TODAY Network will be livesteaming the parade, and local stations like NBC10, Fox29, 6ABC will also be livestreaming and broadcasting the event for those who would rather celebrate in the comfort of their own home. Friday's weather in the Philadelphia region is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 37 degrees and a low of 26 degrees. Serendipitously, Friday is going to be the only day this weekend with no projected precipitation, but dress for the cold weather. You will be standing for a long time.

If you're driving, consider leaving as early as possible and parking as far from the parade route as you can handle, remembering that you'll have to walk back. SEPTA will operate on a modified schedule, with free rides on the city's Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford Line. Starting at 5 a.m., trains will run every six to eight minutes. Getting to Eagles parade from Delaware: Can you take SEPTA train on Friday? Not from Newark Where is the Eagles parade 2025? Philly officials announce Super Bowl parade route, time Most regional stations, like Suburban Station, will be closed on Friday. For regional transport, consider stopping at 30th Street Station or Jefferson Station and walking to your destination. PATCO also will run on a modified schedule. The only stations that will be open in New Jersey are Lindenwold, Woodcrest, Ferry Avenue and City Hall. In Philadelphia, the only station PATCO will serve is 9/10th and Locust streets. Philadelphia's Office of Emergency Management will station over 50 local, state, federal and non-governmental agencies working to keep the route safe. The Philadelphia Fire Department will staff medic tents at the following locations: 24th Street & Benjamin Franklin Parkway (south side) Pennsylvania Avenue and Spring Garden Street Aviator Park (19th Street and Benjamin Franklin Parkway) If you see someone who is lost or hurt, take them to the nearest tent and notify a police officer. Paradegoers can also sign up for free text alerts to get information on transit, weather and public safety. Text READYEAGLES to 888-777. Exclusive memorabilia: Celebrate Eagles' Super Bowl championship with our book, photo pages and print keepsakes Cell service will likely be spotty at best. Make a plan, stick with a buddy, agree on an emergency meet-up location and don't leave a good spot if you get it. Consider writing down where you parked your car, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Bring water and snacks. Food trucks should be stationed along the parkway, but anticipate long lines. Bathrooms will be limited along the parade route. Plan and drink accordingly, and prepare to use porta potties whenever you see them. Hundreds of porta potties are already set up around City Hall, at the Broad Street and JFK Boulevard intersection. (As someone who attended the parade in 2018, keep your distance from them if you can. Philadelphians like to climb things.) Wear a crossbody bag, fanny pack or keep your valuables in a zippered pocket. Finally, have fun! The energy will undoubtedly be electric along the parade route this Friday. Get to know the people around you, learn their Eagles fan stories and bring some games or a speaker to enjoy the atmosphere. Molly McVety covers community and environmental issues around Delaware.

In withholding the nearly $3 trillion that had already been approved by Congress, the coalition says many states could face cash shortfalls, making it difficult to administer basic programs such as funding for health care and food for children. "These funds are not monopoly money and this is not a game," Jennings said in a statement released in the final minutes of the business week. "Each and every one of these dollars represent promises that the United States made to Americans. Real people are suffering and will continue to suffer incredible damages from the disruption of these vital funds.". Learn more here.
