To celebrate the Super Bowl win, Chiefs fans will flock downtown for the Chiefs Kingdom Champions Parade. Here’s how you can get there car-free (or almost) and avoid driving, waiting, parking, more waiting and burning countless gallons of gas and CO2.
- Plot your route and start early for the 12 p.m. parade start time. Cell phone reception may be extremely limited during the event so plan your travel before you leave for the event. Check Chiefs Champions Parade for a parade map and updates.
