\u201cFor more than 50 years, New Yorkers have waited for this moment. Through near misses, heartbreak and a hope that every year could be our year, this city never stopped believing in the Knicks. And this team fulfilled that hope with grit, resilience and heart \u2014 just like the five boroughs itself,\u201d said\u00a0Mayor Mamdani. \u201cNew Yorkers have cheered for our team from packed living rooms in the Bronx to watch parties in Brooklyn<\/a>, from bars in Queens to Staten Island to Manhattan, and Madison Square Garden itself. Now it\u2019s time for our city to celebrate together. Bing bong.\u201d<\/p>\n

The parade is expected to be held in Manhattan on Thursday, according to a social media post <\/a>made by the mayor.<\/p>\n

City Hall will also be awarding Keys to the City. City Hall and other municipal buildings will also be illuminated in blue and orange on Thursday evening, according to officials.<\/p>\n
