The Celtics will kick off the weekend early with Boston’s trademark Duck Boat rally set for Friday.
The city announced this morning the parade will commence at 11 a.m. in front of TD Garden on Causeway Street, passing by City Hall Plaza and the Boston Common on Tremont Street, and ending on Boylston Street by the Hynes Convention Center.
The boats will be filled with Celtics players, owners, and staff, the city announcement stated.
Today will be the start of the hot and humid weather, with it feeling between 95 and 100 degrees. Then the peak of the heat wave should be on Wednesday and Thursday, as the heat indices spike to above 100 degrees and even to 106 in certain regions.
Friday? Cooler with the possibility of scattered showers of beer and champagne.
Mayor Michelle Wu and other officials are set to release further information later today.
After the Celtics won Banner 17 over the Lakers in 2008, roughly 16 boats took the champions from the Garden to Copley Square. Two flatbed trucks carried Celtics dancers, former Celtic greats, and champion trophies from past seasons.
