Lightning to bring back boat parade for Stanley Cup celebration

The Tampa Bay Lightning will once again take the Stanley Cup from the frozen water to the fluid variety in Tampa's Hillsborough River.

For the second straight year, the Lightning will hold a boat parade as part of their championship celebration.

The event will take place Monday at 11 a.m. ET, and the team is encouraging fans to line the Tampa Riverwalk to watch the procession on land. No other boats will be permitted.

There will be a standard Cup celebration in Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park at 2 p.m. ET following the boat parade.

The Lightning held a boat parade for the first time after winning the title last season. They also held that portion of the 2020 event on the Hillsborough River, with fans gathering on the Riverwalk. The club hosted the second part of last year's festivities at Raymond James Stadium.
