Kids can join in shark-themed games and activities. Swedish Fish Brand Ambassadors will be on-site handing out candy on Friday and Saturday, while supplies last.

From 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 19, flit your fins with the Zydeco Crawdaddys at Jungle Boogie presented by Mid America Chevy Dealers.

St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup Championship Parade Schedule & Details

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the Full Disclosure

by Leave a Comment


Heading downtown to the St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup Championship parade? Here are the details that you need to know.

The Blues Stanley Cup Championship parade starts at noon on Saturday. The parade will begin at 18th and Market Street and end at Broadway and Market Street. Following the parade, there will be a rally with the team at the Arch grounds. As many as a half million people are expected to come out for the parade. Organizers said it will go on rain or shine.

The team will appear on stage at the Arch. Everyone will be required to go through security to attend the rally. There will be three checkpoints.

The events are free and open to the public. At Gateway Arch National Park, visitors can enter the park grounds via three security access points: two are in Luther Ely Smith Square (located on Fourth Street between Market and Chestnut streets) and one is in the north grounds of the Gateway Arch.

At the Arch, concession stands will sell soda, water and beer (cash only). Soft-sided coolers with sealed, non-alcoholic beverages are allowed inside the park grounds (no glass).

City officials are encouraging people coming downtown to take the MetroLink. At 11 a.m. Friday, the ramp from eastbound I-44/northbound I-55 to Walnut Street and the ramp from the westbound Poplar Street Bridge to eastbound I-44 and Walnut Street will close. The ramps are expected to reopen by 8 p.m. Sunday.

Please arrive early, be mindful of downtown road closures, and take your time to find parking or use public transportation. Ideal stops for MetroLink are the Busch Stadium, 8th & Pine and Laclede’s Landing stations. Rideshares should drop off at 14th & Olive streets or 20th & Market streets for access to the parade, or 8th & Clark streets for access to the civic celebration at the Arch.

The Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse will be open for visitors during regularly scheduled hours during the parade and recognition ceremony. All Tram Ride to the Top ticket holders are advised to arrive at the Arch grounds at least 60 minutes ahead of their scheduled tram time to go through two security checkpoints. Multiple street closures will be in place and parking will be in high demand – visit getaroundstl.com for a list of parking locations near the park, or plan to arrive by MetroLink to the 8th & Pine or Laclede’s Landing stations.

FOX 2 and FOX Sports Midwest will televise the St. Louis Blues’ Championship Parade and Rally live on Saturday, June 15, starting at Noon.

Thanks Fox 2 for the additional details.
