KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Here we go! The city of Knoxville will be celebrating the Tennessee Vols baseball team after their historic College World Series win on Monday!
The parade will held in downtown Knoxville on Tuesday, June 25. Here are the details from the city of Knoxville:
"This is the team’s first appearance in the finals since 1951 and the school’s first-ever championship win! So, get out your orange and plan to head downtown Tuesday, June, 25, for a parade and celebration.
The parade will step off from the Gay Street Bridge around 6:30 p.m. and march down Gay Street to Wall Avenue. Immediately following the parade there will be a citywide celebration in Market Square. Road Closures will begin at 6 p.m. along the parade route and around Market Square.
Detours will be in place prior to the closures. Please keep in mind, road closure times are subject to change."
The city began rolling out the orange carpet for the Vols in Market Square on Tuesday morning -- literally. Crews were preparing Market Square to celebrate the new national champions with a celebration after the parade, including hanging up banners and prepping the stage.
