Music, confetti, a sea of green, and thousands of screaming fans flooded the streets of Boston to celebrate their recent series victory.

Sports are ingrained in the culture of Boston. Some nicknames of The City include ‘Titletown’ or the ‘City of Champions.’ Celebratory parades are no stranger to Boston residents. Fans are always anticipating the next title to add!
