The 2024 AFL Grand Final Parade will once again take to Melbourne Park, featuring a more fan-friendly route this year.
Held on Friday 27 September and with over a quarter of a million people from across the country and overseas expected, the new fan-friendly route will bypass public roads and provide more fan-viewing opportunities.
Melbourne Park Oval will be one of the prime spots for families and fans to watch the start of the Parade, with pre-parade entertainment starting at 9.00am including Sherrin giveaways, food and beverage, live music and AFL legends.
The Parade will commence at approximately 10.30am, and will progress through the Melbourne Park precinct to Birrarung Marr, over the walk bridge and into Yarra Park, finishing at the AFL’s Footy Festival. The Grand Final teams and 2024 AFL Premiership Cup will be presented on the Footy Festival main stage at approximately midday.
