BROWARD COUNTY, FL-Broward County Transit (BCT) reminds riders that in addition to the special free Park and Ride Express Service from the Heron Garage to Harbor Drive, fans can also get to the Florida Panthers Championship Celebration using our regular routes 11, 36, and 40. These routes will remain in service with slight detours due to road closures on Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard (A1A).
The parade is scheduled for Sunday, June 22, 2025, and A1A will be closed between Riomar Street and SE 5th Street from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Riders planning to use regular BCT service are encouraged to check updated detour information in advance.
Free Park and Ride and Express Bus Service from the Heron Garage to Harbor Drive will run continuously from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM ahead of the noon parade, and from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM for return trips. This express service is designed to help fans avoid traffic and arrive conveniently at the celebration site along A1A in Fort Lauderdale.
