Dodgers' Big Parade: A Family-Friendly Celebration

The Los Angeles Dodgers are ready to celebrate their World Series win with a big parade on Friday. Police expect around 100, 000 fans to join in, hoping for a peaceful and safe event. The parade starts at City Hall at 11 a. m. and ends near 5th and Figueroa streets. After the parade, there will be a celebration at Dodger Stadium at 12:15 p. m. , but tickets are required. The LAPD is taking steps to ensure safety, with multiple agencies helping out. After some problems like burglaries and vandalism after the team's win, authorities are ready. The parade will be short, lasting less than an hour. Fans are expected to start lining up early. Police are prepared with officers on foot, bicycles, and horses. They'll also patrol Grand Park and keep an eye on the players during the parade. In downtown L. A. , some businesses were damaged during celebrations. The LAPD said some people were hostile and threw things at officers. Videos showed people stealing from a store and cars doing doughnuts. In Echo Park, a bus was set on fire, and someone was hurt by a firework. Some deputies were attacked with fireworks and other objects in East L. A. Officials hope Friday's parade will be much calmer. Streets will close before dawn, and government offices are encouraging people to work from home. The mayor said most people celebrated peacefully.
