Barely three months after the confetti was swept up from the Red Sox World Series parade, the New England Patriots boarded duck boats and headed up Boylston Street themselves.
The Super Bowl LIII victory parade Tuesday was the 12th time in 17 years that Boston has hosted a rolling championship celebration for one of its four major sports teams. And the Patriots, who have now made the two-mile trip six times since 2002, are the team fans are most used to seeing.
But like a snowflake falling on the field in Foxborough, every victory parade in Boston is unique.
