For the second time in a year, the Tampa Bay Lightning have won another Stanley Cup and that means a boat parade something they had to do last year due to COVID but it has suddenly become a new Bay Area tradition. The Buccaneers followed their Super Bowl win with a boat parade and now here we are again with the Lightning celebrating on the water on Monday with tens of thousands of fans onshore on the water cheering them on.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor announced that the parade would follow the same route as last time beginning around 10 a.m., players will be ushered onto boats at Davis Islands. The goal is to have the parade off and sailing by 11 a.m. Monday.
According to Castor “Our fans will be able to line up along the Riverwalk, through our parks.” The boat parade will end around noon or 1 p.m. at Rick’s on the River.
The mayor joked that “hopefully” the Stanley Cup won’t end up in the water, a reference to the time Tom Brady tossed the Lombardi Trophy after the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl victory in Tampa during their boat parade.
Here are some of the best places to park and then walk to a spot to see the parade.
