UCONN Victory Parade in Hartford
The Hartford Business Improvement District will host a victory parade and rally to congratulate and honor the University of Connecticut Men’s Basketball Team for winning the National Championship Game of the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament.
The victory parade, which will begin and end at the State Capitol, will start at 3:00 p.m. and wind around Bushnell Park, Main Street and Capitol Avenue.
A victory rally with the coaches and players will take place on the north steps of the Capitol building immediately following the parade. Parade and rally organizers are relying on private funds to support both events.
