The procession will follow New York City’s famous Canyon of Heroes trail in Lower Manhattan. The parade begins at The Battery (Bowling Green) and travels directly north along Broadway before culminating in City Park.

Following the float’s progress, Mayor Mamdani will host a civic ceremony outside City Hall to present the keys to the city to Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and others listed.
