A parade celebrating the Astros World Series Championship will be held Friday at 3 pm EST (2 pm CST) in downtown Houston.
The Houston Astros celebrate defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in game seven to win the 2017 World Series at Dodger Stadium on November 1, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

A parade celebrating the Astros World Series Championship will be held Friday at 3 pm EST (2 pm CST) in downtown Houston.

11Alive sister station KHOU 11 will broadcast the parade live on TV and stream it live online, which you can watch here.

The city of Houston made the announcement moments after the Astros clinched the win in Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers late Wednesday.

“It's a true privilege to proudly host this magnificent salute to our hometown team that has earned history,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “As we bounce back from Hurricane Harvey, we are more than ready to welcome our heroes home in proper form."

The parade route will close to traffic beginning at 1 p.m.

The parade will honor the players, coaches, staff and their families, culminating in a celebration at City Hall.

On Thursday, Metro announced it will be providing free rides for all services to help ease traffic congestion in downtown during the parade.
