The Kansas City Royals are about to party like it’s 1985.
After winning their first World Series championship in 30 years against the New York Mets, the Royals will hold their victory parade Tuesday in Kansas City at noon CT, per Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star.

The parade will start on Grand Boulevard at the Sprint Center in the Power and Light District. It’s expected to be 2.3 miles long and will conclude with a rally at Union Station. Jeff Rosen of the Kansas City Star provided a map and route of the parade:
Fox Sports Kansas City will carry the parade in its entirety, as will Fox 4, according to VisitKC.com.
When the Royals last won the World Series, it required a historic comeback for the ages in 1985. Kansas City trailed 3-1 against the St. Louis Cardinals and came back to win in seven games. Thirty years later, the Royals provided some magic again Sunday night against the New York Mets in Game 5.
The Royals scored twice in the top of the ninth and capped off the comeback with five runs in the top of the 12th to win 7-2 and clinch the championship. Salvador Perez earned World Series MVP honors.
Over 300,000 Kansas City citizens attended the Royals’ last parade in 1985, according to the Associated Press.
There’s a good chance that Tuesday’s crowd will top that number as fans decked in blue and white get to celebrate an improbable championship with their Royals. And to think—this will all start again when the Royals open the 2016 season at home April 4 against the same Mets.
