Oh, what a truly magical night of spontaneous civic engagement! It seems the Dodgers didn’t just win the World Series; they heroically provided the spark for an LA Pride with a city-wide seminar where the streets give way to roadways of chaos, fueled by the non-stop blaring of car horns, aggressive exhibitionism, graffiti, street takeovers, illegal fireworks, amateur pyro displays, police lines, screams—and at least one Waymo that always gets it.

For LA sports fans, thrashing DTLA seems to have become an honored tradition. Yet, as much as this reoccurs, Downtown residents never truly get used to the pandemonium and are left to wonder, why can’t officials find a way to get a handle on things?
Their actual response is to reward the hordes for their stellar performance of mayhem, so far, has been to throw a parade immediately after. Because nothing solves a traffic-blocking, sleep-depriving night of rebellious celebration like a city-sanctioned sleep-depriving, traffic blocking daytime celebration.
Regardless, the Mayor and the 2025 World Series Champions are thrilled to announce they will commemorate their title on Monday, November 3 with a Championship Parade in Downtown Los Angeles and a simultaneous, special ticketed Championship Celebration at Dodger Stadium.
All That Matters is the Dodgers
Last night, the Los Angeles Dodgers won their ninth World Series championship against the Toronto Blue Jays, in doing so they become the first MLB team to repeat as champions in 25 years – with a thrilling 5-4 comeback victory in 11 innings over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7.
After Miguel Rojas tied the game in the top of the ninth, Will Smith put the Dodgers ahead for the first time in the game with an 11th-inning blast. This was the first time since 1965 that the Dodgers have won a World Series Game 7 and second time overall, joined by their only Brooklyn title in 1955, and it’s the eighth time out of nine that the franchise clinched a World Series away from Los Angeles. World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who had already won two games as a starter, won his third game of the Series by closing it out with 2.2 innings of shutout relief, ending the longest World Series Game 7 since 1997.
Along their Postseason journey, Los Angeles bested Cincinnati in a two-game Wild Card Series sweep, followed by a 3-1 NLDS triumph over Philadelphia and a 4-0 sweep of Milwaukee in the NLCS. The Dodgers finished the 2025 playoffs with a 13-4 record and are 24-9 (.727) over the past two Postseasons.
Brace Yourself DTLA – Here comes the Dodgers
Expect a crowd! With the highest cumulative fan attendance in Major League Baseball history, and a record of breaking barriers, the Dodgers are one of the most cherished sports franchises in the world.
Adding to the thousands of inebriated adults who took to the streets after the sport bars let out, their families, pets, and motor vehicles—whether they Go Metro or try to weave through traffic—the number of celebration cheers will more than quadruple.
On Monday, the parade is scheduled to begin at Grand Park on Spring Street in front of City Hall. Mayor Karen Bass will officially kick off the parade.
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at Temple Street and Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, continuing along an approximately 45-minute route west on Temple, south on Grand Avenue, west on 7th Street, and north on Figueroa Street, ending at 5th Street. Members of the Dodgers, friends and family will travel atop double-decker buses, on the parade route, greeted by fans from across the world.

At the exact same time as the parade, the Dodgers will host a Championship Celebration at Dodger Stadium, beginning at approximately 12:15 p.m. Auto gates will open at 8:30 a.m., with stadium entry beginning at 9 a.m. Prior to the start of the in-stadium event, fans may enjoy entertainment and live coverage of the parade on DodgerVision, with food and merchandise available for purchase.
