Liverpool's Massive Title Parade: Everything You Need To Know
Liverpool! Get ready for a sea of red! Hundreds of thousands are expected to descend on the city for the Reds' Premier League victory parade – and honestly, the atmosphere is going to be electric. I've covered a few of these before and I can tell you, it's an experience you won't forget. This article will give you the lowdown on when and where it all kicks off, what roads will be closed, and how to join the party, even if you're not in Liverpool.
When and Where Does the Parade Start?
The 15km (about 10-mile) parade is set to begin at 2.30pm on Monday, May 26th. It's expected to last a good three to five hours, though, you know, these things can be unpredictable. It's all starting at Allerton Maze and heading north along Queens Drive – a similar route to the one used in previous years. I've personally seen the crowds in this area – you'll want to get there early for a good spot!
The Parade Route: A Journey Through Red
The route is pretty epic: From Allerton Maze, it will snake through the city passing by:
- Queens Drive
- Mill Bank
- West Derby Road
- Islington
- Leeds Street
- The Strand
Finally finishing up on Blundell Street. It's a pretty lengthy route, so pick your spot carefully! Seriously, people will be lining the streets for miles.
Road Closures & Getting There
Expect major road closures, especially around the parade route. The Strand will be a no-go zone for much of the day. Seriously, if you plan to drive, consider alternative routes well in advance – or better yet, leave the car at home and use public transport. Merseyrail, Arriva and Stagecoach are your best bets. They'll be running extra services to cope with the expected huge crowds.
How To Watch the Liverpool Parade
Can't make it to Liverpool? No worries! You can follow all the action live via LFC's official channels: LFCTV GO, YouTube, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok. UK viewers can also catch it live on LFCTV via Sky and Virgin Media. The Liverpool ECHO will also be providing live updates throughout the day – it's a massive event.
Important Reminders
It’s set to be a huge day for the city, and to help ensure everyone’s safety, here's a reminder:
- No flares or pyrotechnics. Seriously, this is crucial for everyone's safety.
- Stay hydrated. It's going to be a long day.
- Wear sunscreen if needed.
- And most importantly – have an amazing time celebrating this historic win!
