It's the second championship victory parade in Philadelphia for 2018.
Villanova University, which is located in the Philadelphia suburb of Radnor Township, won its third NCAA men's basketball championship title after defeating University of Michigan 79 to 62. The last team to win its two Final Four games by 16 or more was UCLA in 1968, according to The Associated Press.
The parade will be on Thursday, April 5 in Center City Philadelphia - although it won't be on Broad St. Instead, step off will be at 11 a.m. at 20th and Market streets. The parade will proceed down Market St., ending at Dilworth Park, right outside of Philadelphia City Hall.
Expect the streets to be filled with students - classes have been cancelled on April 5 for the occasion.
