Celtics victory parade will be tomorrow in Boston

BOSTON (AP) - For the second time in a year, the streets of Boston will be turned into a mobile party.

Boston Mayor Tom Menino told WBZ-AM on Wednesday that a "rolling rally" to honor the NBA champion Boston Celtics will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday.

The rally is expected to start at the TD Banknorth Garden. where the Celtics clinched their 17th crown on Tuesday night with a 131-92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The city has held the "rolling rallies" on World War II-era amphibious vehicles to celebrate championships from the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox.

The last one was on Oct. 30, after the Red Sox completed a four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies in the World Series.
