Some Celtics kept partying after the parade. Here’s where
Some Celtics fans are making it a full day of celebrating, morning, noon and night.
The trophy, some of the players and the coach showed up late afternoon at the Seaport, firing up the crowd all over again.
Fans were, electric, energized, and everything in between during an unforgettable day in Boston.
Fans also got a glimpse at the team and the Larry O’Brien trophy at Cisco Brewers in the Seaport.
One fan said she missed coach Joe Mazzulla by a couple of minutes but did get a glimpse of Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis.
“I’m sad that we missed the trophy, but it was a great time. The parade was insane. It was so much fun.” said Lexi Furst.
From TD Garden to City Hall, down Boylston St. to the Hynes Convention Center, there was no shortage of green with people packed everywhere taking it all in.
The ball that Jaylen Brown was spinning during the parade landed in the hands of one lucky fan after it bounced.
“The lady in front of me bobbled it and it came up and I just went and grabbed with both arms” said Kristen Shephard.
She said she is not letting the basketball right from the hands of the Finals MVP to leave her side.
Both players and crowd had the time of their lives from high up on the duck boats and up and down the streets.
“This is way past anything I can imagine. This is amazing. Everybody having a great time. I don’t want this to end.” said Celtics guard Jalen Springer about the parade.
The fans didn’t want it to end either.
After a wild season, fans are already talking about banner 19.
Possible storms expected on Saturday afternoon
The forecast isn’t perfect this weekend. But it isn’t washed out either.
Today is the coolest of the two, with lots of clouds and limited sun. Storms will fire up, but they seem limited to the afternoon.
Rough timing shows them forming in the mid-afternoon and pushing out in the early evening. Sunday is a bit trickier. Timing could be as late as 5-7pm (later with some guidance), but we’re much more unstable, so we could pop a few storms in the mid-afternoon again.
Get all severe weather alerts for your area here, and track live radar below:
Each round of storms has the potential to be strong or severe in isolated spots. That means the nastiest storms could have strong, gusty winds, hail, and torrents of rain.
Keep an eye to the sky if you have outdoor plans and prepare to take cover.
Monday continues the stormy theme as the front finally crosses the area. We’ll grab a batch of cooler, less humid air, then watch temperatures spike up into the upper 80s again by Wednesday.
Despite that warm day, it appears the high heat and humidity will NOT return anytime soon.
Enjoy the weekend and be safe!
