Submitted by the Event Organizer

Get down to Market Street on Halloween for the city’s parade and celebration for the 2012 World Champion Giants!

The victory parade will take place Wednesday, October 31, 2012 starting at 11am.

Unlike two years ago, for 2012 the ticker tape parade will bypass Montgomery Street and instead the parade will start at the foot of Market near the Ferry Building and head down Market Street to Civic Center for the big celebration near the steps of City Hall.
