Chicago Cubs fans, rejoice! (As if we needed to tell you that.) After approximately 1,234 years (OK, not really, but 108 years is a LONG TIME) the Chicago Cubs are World Series champs!

After beating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 and winning three straight games, the Chicago Cubs officially put an end to their 108-year title drought during Game 7 of the 2016 MLB World Series at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio Wednesday night (Nov. 2). And you know what that means… Parties and parades!

While this won’t be the first championship parade for Chicago — the NHL’s Blackhawks have won three Stanley Cub titles since 2010 — this will be the first time in over 100 years that the city can celebrate winning the World Series, which is a HGUGE deal.

Though official details regarding the parade have yet to be revealed (keep checking back here for updates!) it’s safe to say the crowd turnout will be the biggest the city of Chicago has ever seen!

Just look at this massive crowd for the Blackhawks Stanley Cub parade at Grant Park in 2013:

Meanwhile, some are estimating that upwards of 250,000 people (or more) could attend the celebration ceremonies.

As for the actual details regarding the official city parade, which, again, haven’t been revealed just yet, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel — a big-time Cubs fan who reportedly wanted to dye the Chicago river “Cubbie Blue” — said in a post-game interview on the field that officials weren’t ready to announce anything at the moment.

“We’ll tell you when we are ready,” he told Fox 32 (according to DNAinfo Chicago) about a possible ticker tape parade.

So, there you have it! We just have to wait and see what happens from here. Stay tuned for details on when and where the Chicago Cubs championship parade will be.
