The City of New York will hold a ticker tape parade to celebrate the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) champions, the New York Liberty. Additionally, Mayor Adams announced that City Hall and other municipal buildings will be lit up seafoam on Monday night to celebrate the victory. The New York Liberty are an original franchise of the WNBA and tonight’s win marked their first-ever WNBA Championship in 28 seasons.
Led by a 17-point performance from 2024 WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones, the Liberty secured its third win to clinch the title after defeating the Minnesota Lynx in Game 5 tonight of the WNBA finals. The 2024 regular season was a record-breaking year for the New York Liberty, clinching the overall number 1 seed in the WNBA Playoffs for a second time in franchise history, tying a franchise-best finish of 32-8, and becoming the first team in WNBA history with back-to-back 30+ win seasons.
In addition to City Hall, the following city buildings will be lit up seafoam Monday night in honor of the Liberty:
- Brooklyn Borough Hall: 209 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
- The David N. Dinkins Manhattan Municipal Building: 1 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007
