The Alouettes will hit the streets of Montreal with the Gray Cup this Wednesday, November 22nd.
A major event that has become extremely rare in the metropolis since the last parade by a major team took place there 13 years ago, when the same Alouettes last won the Canadian Football League Grail.

This time the parade starts around 11:30 a.m. and is expected to last between 45 minutes and an hour. The Alouettes and their trophy will take off at the corner of Crescent Street and De Maisonneuve Street East.
They then move east on De Maisonneuve Street to the intersection with Clark Street.
Upon their arrival on the stage installed at the Place des Festivals, the players will speak.
If you can’t make it to the big bash, note that TVA Sports, TVA, LCN as well as jdem.com, jdeq.com and TVASports.ca will be broadcasting the festivities live between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Hosted by Charles-Antoine Sinotte, accompanied by former Alouettes Étienne Boulay and Arnaud Gascon-Nadon, a former CFL player who also wore the colors of the University of Laval’s Rouge et Or.
