Thousands of Dodgers fans descended on DTLA for the World Series parade—here’s what it looked like

Didn’t have a sick day to burn on Monday morning? Or simple didn’t want to deal with the road closures? Here’s what it was like for the thousands of Angelenos who descended on Downtown L.A. for the Dodgers’ World Series championship parade.

A fleet of double-decker buses exited the 101 freeway around 11am, and about 10 minutes and a few blasts of confetti later, the team turned onto Temple Street to properly begin their nearly two-mile route through DTLA, mostly along Grand Avenue. (If you’re reading this early enough, you might still be able to tune into their afternoon rally at Dodger Stadium.)

Lest you think the team’s second championship in two years would somehow be less exciting, seemingly every inch of sidewalk was packed with Dodger fans to see manager Dave Roberts hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy and all of the players soak in the atmosphere—and occasionally soak some fans in champagne. Take a look below to see what the experience was like from the many, many Dodgers fans who showed up on Monday.
