PHILADELPHIA —Friday is Valentine's Day, but Eagles fans will be showing their love for the team during the day's events.

The parade will begin at 11 a.m. Friday at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, officials said.

The parade will head north on Broad, go around Philadelphia City Hall and LOVE Park, down the Ben Franklin Parkway, and end at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Eagles players and coaches will be riding on open air buses as fans cheer them on.

Officials said more than a dozen giant screens will be posted along the route, so everyone can get a glimpse of the champions. The screens will also re-air Super Bowl LIX before the parade.

The team is expected to reach the art museum somewhere from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m., with the ceremony set to begin at about 2 p.m. Then, the team will give speeches on the steps of the museum.

Officials also teased special guests will be present at the ceremony. They will be transported via yellow buses to the museum from South Philadelphia before the parade begins.

The ceremony is predicted to be over by 3:15 p.m. and afterward the city will work to resume normal activity in the impacted areas.

Sensory-friendly resources will also be made available for those sensitive to loud noises, crows, and more.

Officials said more than one million people are expected to attend the parade and ceremony. Those planning to attend the parade and ceremony are urged to do so safely.

Officials reiterated that poles should not be climbed and to stay hydrated with something other than alcohol. Friday's weather is expected to be cold, so fans should dress in warm clothing while being prepared to be outside for several hours.

SEPTA said the Broad Street, Market-Frankford, and Regional Rail lines will run express service Friday, skipping some stops. Trains will run every 6 to 8 minutes. Kevin Hart's tequila brand Gran Coramino is sponsoring trips on the Broad Street and Market-Frankford lines, meaning travelers can ride these lines for free.
