Penguins Parade 2017: Date, Time, Route and Latest Weather Forecast Report
The city of Pittsburgh will get another parade after the Penguins won their second straight Stanley Cup title this week.
Per Wes Crosby of NHL.com, the celebration will take place Wednesday with Sidney Crosby and company going through mostly the same path as last year.
While an estimated 400,000 fans were there to enjoy the party last season, they will likely be ready to enjoy themselves once again after Pittsburgh's win over the Nashville Predators in six games.

WPXI described the parade route, which is similar to last year with a small change. Beginning at Liberty Avenue, the team will travel down Grant Street before turning right on Boulevard of the Allies.
The difference is this year the party will end at Point State Park with a stage set up on the city-side lawn. This is where the top-team personnel will address the fans for the first time since winning the Cup.
The only downside could be the weather, which is not expected to be great.
Severe Weather Team 11 is calling for rain, as is Weather.com with a change of thunderstorms throughout the day.
Despite the possible problems with Mother Nature, Pittsburgh mayor Bill Peduto doesn't seem too concerned:
Although it might limit the total numbers in attendance, the true fans will still be there, just as loud as ever.
Even if the Penguins did just go through this process a year ago, the back-to-back titles make it even more impressive. It was the first time this feat has been achieved since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998.
Crosby is only the third player to win the Conn Smythe in back-to-back years.
Meanwhile, players like Ron Hainsey are new to this moment. The 36-year-old has been in the league for 13 years but just finally got his first chance to raise the Stanley Cup this week.
Rookie center Jake Guentzel also wasn't around last year but still came through with an NHL-best 13 goals during the postseason.
This is a chance to celebrate the new stars with the old in one big moment for the city.
