Warriors Championship Parade Details

San Francisco Bay Area sports teams have seen a huge number of championship appearances and wins since the San Francisco Giants won the World Series in 2010. Since then, we have been treated to 3 World Series wins and 4 NBA Championships as well as 2 Superbowl appearances for the 49ers and even an NHL Stanley Cup Finals run by the San Jose Sharks in 2016. Each win results in a coveted Championship Parade to let fans get up close to the teams and celebrate their victories. Despite the Golden State Warriors making it to the NBA Finals 6 times in the past 8 years, we haven’t gotten to celebrate a Championship since 2018 when the Dubs shut out the Cleveland Cavaliers 4 to 0. 

After a couple of seasons plagued with injuries, The Warriors have once again brought the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy back to the San Francisco Bay Area. The is the first NBA Championship for the Warriors since making the move to their new San Francisco home, Chase Center, on October 5, 2019. 

While there was also quite a bit of celebrating after the win on Thursday (and through the weekend), the city is gearing up for the official celebration and parade that will take place on Monday, June 20. Presented by Rakuten, the company prominently displayed on the Warriors uniforms, the parade will take place starting at 11:20AM.
