Knicks parade in NYC on Thursday, June 18
New York City will host a ticker-tape parade for the NBA champion Knicks on Thursday, June 18, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced after the clinching Game 5 on Saturday night.
It will mark the first ticker-tape parade in Knicks history, according to a news release from the mayor's office.
Additional details — including parade logistics, ceremony information and media RSVP instructions — will be released Sunday.
“For more than 50 years, New Yorkers have waited for this moment," Mayor Mamdani said in the news release. "Through near misses, heartbreak and a hope that every year could be our year, this city never stopped believing in the Knicks. And this team fulfilled that hope with grit, resilience and heart — just like the five boroughs itself. New Yorkers have cheered for our team from packed living rooms in the Bronx to watch parties in Brooklyn, from bars in Queens to Staten Island to Manhattan, and Madison Square Garden itself. Now it’s time for our city to celebrate together. Bing bong.”
City Hall and municipal buildings across the city will be illuminated in blue and orange on Thursday, the mayor said.
