Panthers parade set for Sunday in Fort Lauderdale. Here's what you need to know
As Fort Lauderdale prepares for the Florida Panthers' second straight Stanley Cup championship parade, city officials and fans are offering key advice for navigating the celebration. With large crowds expected, transportation and parking will be major considerations for anyone heading to the beachside event. Parade route and rally details The parade begins at noon Sunday on A1A at Riomar Street and continues south to Southeast 5th Street, where a rally will be held on a stage. Crews have already started setting up barricades and building the stage along the beach. "The Elbo Room all the way down the beach. It's gonna be amazing," said Rich Rodriguez, who attended last year's celebration. Rodriguez and his friend Alex Guzman described the 2023 event as a once-in-a-lifetime experience—and one that gave them important insight into planning for this year's festivities. "If you're driving here, you're just gonna get stuck somewhere," Rodriguez said. Parking, transportation and arrival tips The City of Fort Lauderdale says 26 nearby parking garages will be open for the event, but walking distances to the venue could range from five minutes to over an hour. "Parking is gonna be difficult. So make sure you use ride share or carpool. Water taxi will be available," said Mayor Dean Trantalis. Rodriguez and Guzman opted for the water taxi last year and say it's the way to go. "It's well worth it. You don't have to drive. If you're drinking you don't have to worry about anything like that. The traffic. You can see there are two lanes on the road and it's gonna be really really crowded," Rodriguez said. Rodriguez added that he arrived at the water taxi about three and a half hours before the start of the parade last year. "Last time we got here at about 8:30 and there were already hundreds of thousands of people here. And it was stormy," he said. Police presence and safety measures Fort Lauderdale police say there are no known threats to the event. Officials added that it will be "all hands on deck," meaning nearly every officer not on vacation will be working during Sunday's parade.

Ready for another Panthers Stanley Cup parade? Here's when it will likely happen
The Florida Panthers have repeated as Stanley Cup champions. So now comes the big question: When will the parade be? While nothing is set in stone yet, this weekend would be the most logical time. If it follows the plan from last year, when Florida won the Cup on a Monday, the parade would most likely be on Sunday. Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis said that's where things are trending, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, with the outlet saying the parade will 'most likely' be down A1A in Fort Lauderdale beach. That's the path Florida's parade took last year when it started on State Road A1A at Riomar Street and continued down A1A and ended north of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park across from Hotel Marren at Southeast Fifth Street. That's where the rally stage was set up. The parade took place amid a downpour. Here's hoping for better weather this time around.

‘We could not be up against a better team': Ft. Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis on Oilers vs. Panthers rematch
Mayor of Fort Lauderdale Dean Trantalis joined CTV Morning Live's Kent Morrison to discuss the upcoming Stanley Cup rematch between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers. This transcript has been edited for length and clarity. Kent Morrison: You had home ice advantage last year, you don't this year. Are you scared? Mayor Dean Trantalis: We have two great teams, the Oilers and the Panthers. It's great to see both our teams doing their best and it brings out the crowds. Families, visitors and everybody has a good time with these games. But we're very hopeful. We are very optimistic. We have a very strong team, very energetic and committed to winning, once again, the Stanley Cup. We're looking forward to seeing what happens. Whether it's on home ice or whether it's in Edmonton. I know our team will do well in both locations, and we're very excited about the outcome. Kent: Last year, there was a lot of hype. The Stanley Cup match went seven games and Oilers fans travelled down there. What was that like for your community? Dean: It was a cliffhanger, right? I was at a watch party at the practice facility here that's separate from the arena, and there were hundreds and hundreds of people there watching on big screen TVs. It was mostly young kids who can't afford the 1,000 dollar tickets and it was exciting to see everyone on edge. It was the last game and the whole attempt was to prevent the Oilers from scoring before the end of the buzzer. It was an exciting moment. Everyone was very excited for their team, but we had a great challenger. The Oilers are a great team, they're great competition, and we could not be up against a better team. Kent: What do you have to say for Oilers fans this year, now that they're going at it again? Dean: I think that the Oilers really want to win this one and I understand that. The good thing is, we're able to keep partisan politics out of it. We're able to just enjoy the game for what it's meant to be. There's a great community behind each team, and we're really looking forward to seeing the outcome. Kent: We had the Mayor of Sunrise issuing a wager with our mayor. Who's really in charge of the Florida Panthers? Dean: The Panther arena is actually in the western part of the county. It's in Sunrise, and that's where the mayor of sunrise takes ownership of that. But the team itself, the administration, the Academy, the practice facility, all that takes place in my city. When we had the celebration last year for the parade, it took place on our beach here in Fort Lauderdale. There's so much to share, and we're very happy to share it with Sunrise and all the other cities in our community and throughout the United States. This isn't just us. This is about a whole community coming together and supporting our team.

Taller and taller towers in pipeline waiting to join Fort Lauderdale's skyline
Downtown Fort Lauderdale is growing up and up and up — literally. A construction boom that began a decade ago has dramatically changed the city's skyline. You can see all the shiny new skyscrapers from the air. And you can see them from the ground. The fast-paced building might have hit a slowdown, but there are plenty more projects still in the pipeline. Consider this: One plan calls for a tower as tall as 54 stories and 600 feet, setting a new bar as the tallest building in town. Other developers are planning towers nearly as tall. One would be 50 stories. Two more would be 48. Another two would be 47. And so on. Some say they miss the old Fort Lauderdale. But all that development is the fruit of a seed planted decades ago. In other words, the construction boom is just what city leaders wanted to see happen downtown, says Mayor Dean Trantalis. Thirty years ago, builders looking to invest in Fort Lauderdale tended to gravitate to the beach, he says. That was before the city came up with a new master plan to court development downtown. 'All the incentives we provided to developers little by little made its way into a thriving downtown urban experience,' Trantalis says. 'It's become a magnet for a new energy and a new generation that has discovered Fort Lauderdale. What we're seeing today is the fulfillment of the community agenda that was established 20 years ago.' Here's a breakdown of some of the more high-profile projects in the pipeline for downtown Fort Lauderdale. The list comes from the city's website, which was last updated in January 2025. Some details, including project names, might have changed after the list was created. Some projects have not yet been named so are identified by their address. 315 NE Third Number of stories: 54 Features: 607 residential units, 3,727 square feet of retail and restaurant space Address: 315 NE Third St. Status: Under review and awaiting approval Nautica Residences and Hotel Number of stories: 50 (condo tower), 39 (rental apartment tower), 32 (hotel) Features: 695 residential units, 155 hotel rooms, 34,450 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 90-slip marina Address: 400 SW Third Ave. Status: Approved and waiting to break ground 203 NE Third Number of stories: 48 Features: 429 residential units, 2,711 square feet of retail and restaurant space Address: 203 NE Third St. Status: Under review and awaiting approval 300 W.
