A parade up Broadway to City Hall on Thursday will celebrate the team’s N.B.A. championship win, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani will present players with keys to the city.
A ticker-tape parade will wind its way up Broadway in Lower Manhattan on Thursday morning to celebrate the Knicks’ first N.B.A. championship title in five decades.
The festivities are expected to begin at 10 a.m. near Battery Park.
The team will travel about one mile north along Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes, the traditional route for such celebrations, with plaques embedded along the way to mark every ticker-tape parade over the last 140 years.
Mayor Mamdani also announced that City Hall and municipal buildings across the city will be illuminated in blue and orange on Thursday, June 18 to celebrate the victory.
In addition to City Hall, the following City buildings will also be illuminated in blue and orange on the night of Thursday, June 18 in honor of the New York Knicks:
The David N. Dinkins Manhattan Municipal Building: 1 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007
Brooklyn Borough Hall: 209 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
🏀 Big news! Mayor Mamdani just announced a lottery for 600 tickets for the historic Knicks Championship Ceremony at City Hall this Thursday.
The lottery is OPEN right now and will close TOMORROW (6/17) at 11 AM. How quickly you enter the lottery do not matter, as winners are selected at random. 300 winners will be notified after the lottery closes and each winner will receive a +1.
Note that winners will only be able to attend the ceremony and not the parade, just due to logistics.
