Astros fans flocked downtown Friday afternoon to witness Houston’s first ever World Series champions parade.
UH students braved packed METRO rails to get to the parade where fans celebrated the Astros’ 5-1 win over the LA Dodgers Wednesday during game 7 of the World Series, which secured the team’s first ever championship title.
The parade began at 2 p.m. and honored the team as they returned home. Appearances by Mayor Sylvester Turner and Houston rapper Travis Scott also marked the occasion.
