The City of Brotherly Love will celebrate their Super Bowl championship, appropriately, on Valentine's Day.

City officials announced Monday that Philadelphia will hold a parade for the Eagles this Friday in honor of their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

"The City can confirm the Eagles' celebration will be on Friday, February 14," the city government's official X account posted. "Together, with the @Eagles, we will reveal more details soon."

Those details, including the time and parade route, were not yet public.

Philadelphia had some experience staging a Super Bowl parade eight years ago when the Eagles won their first championship in franchise history by beating the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII. It was a much more lopsided affair on Sunday when the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22 in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII.

Eagles president Don Smolenski said during a radio interview on 94WIP that an incoming winter storm will affect the Philadelphia region Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday, and that played a role in selecting Friday.

The celebrations overnight in Philadelphia led to a number of apprehensions and arrests, with police there saying five people were apprehended for assaulting officers and another is being investigated. Four other arrests were made: two for aggravated assault, one for reckless endangerment and one for disorderly conduct.
