Information about attending the parade
Should Hearts win the league title, thousands of supporters will line the streets of Edinburgh on Sunday 17 May to celebrate.
This would be a huge occasion for Edinburgh and for Hearts supporters across the city and beyond.
Should this go ahead, we will be delighted to support the club and fans while they travel across the city on an open-top bus before celebrations continue at Tynecastle Stadium. We will also want everyone to enjoy the celebrations safely and respectfully while helping us keep the city moving throughout the day.
