Super Bowl Parade
(updated 2/9/2002)

On February 5, 2002, a parade through the streets of Boston culminated with a rally on City Hall Plaza, honoring the Super Bowl XXXVI champion Patriots. It was a bitterly cold day, but it didn't stop over one million fans and spectators from gathering along the parade route, starting at the Hynes Convention Center, going down Boylston Street to Tremont Street to Court Street and onto City Hall Plaza.
