A parade 52 years in the making will finally take place Wednesday in Cleveland.
Fresh off their Game 7 win over Golden State, the world champion Cavaliers will be the toast of the town and honored during festivities that begin at 11 a.m. at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland.
The city of Cleveland has released the parade route, which will pass the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and issued warnings to fans that a number of streets will be closed.
The parade is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of championship-starved Cleveland fans. The Cavaliers’ title is the first for the city since the 1964 Jim Brown-led Browns won the NFL Championship.
The parade will feature more than 60 units including floats, specialty vehicles, The Ohio State University Marching Band and LeBron James and his teammates.
