Arsenal fans, has it sunk in yet? After three consecutive second place finishes, the Gunners have ended a 22-year wait to be crowned the Premier League champions once more. The title was confirmed on Tuesday May 19, when Manchester City failed to beat Bournemouth, and Mikel Arteta’s team lifted the trophy last Sunday May 24.
Plenty of partying has already taken place since Arsenal were confirmed as champions. Tens of thousands attended a huge unofficial party outside the Emirates overnight on the Tues-Weds, with several players joining the celebrations, with Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Declan Rice all making an appearance. More festivities took place across north London last Sunday.
A big trophy means one thing: a trophy parade. And that’s exactly what Arsenal are doing this weekend, taking over Islington (and parts of Hackney) for a triumphant open-top bus tour on Sunday May 31.
Here’s what you need to know about that parade, including its date, start time and route.
