Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles!

Congrats to the Eagles on a fantastic, nail-biting Super Bowl win! It has been a long time coming, but the Eagles will finally get their well-deserved parade. The City has announced that the parade will be held on Thursday, 2/8, beginning at 11am, and official estimates expect approximately 3 million people to attend. Click here for more info.

Due to Thursday's parade:

All Philadelphia schools and district offices will be closed.

CCRA Office will be closed.

SEPTA will have a special schedule for all trains and buses entering the city.

There are dozens of street closures and parking restrictions that will be in place.

Trash collection will be suspended and will resume on Friday, 2/9.

There will be no access to the Schuylkill River Trail behind the Art Museum.
