For the first time since 1970, the Chiefs are world champions. This calls for a celebration, of course.
With their furious fourth-quarter comeback leading to a 31-20 Super Bowl 54 win, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are heading to Disney World. But first, they're heading back home to Kansas City with the Lombardi Trophy, to celebrate with the rest of Chiefs Kingdom, and it'll be a doozy.
In 2015, following the Royals' World Series victory, over half a million Kansas City denizens celebrated alongside the team, and that was following a 30-year championship drought. Imagine what kind of rabid fans a 50-year championship drought could bring.
A fair amount of those fans will feature school students, as Kansas City district schools have canceled Wednesday classes to allow for students to partake in the celebration.
Here's everything you need to know about Kansas City's Super Bowl parade, including the route and start time.
