When the Brewers arrived back in Milwaukee after securing a place in the World Series following their win over the Dodgers, the plane drove between two fire trucks firing water cannons in celebration. As the players, coaches and staff stepped off the plane, fans looked on, holding flags and signs.

A parade to celebrate the Brewers’ World Series win is already scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 30, starting at the intersection of North Fourth Street and West Wisconsin Avenue. A post-parade rally will take place at the Summerfest grounds, where the first 50,000 fans will receive a limited-edition championship rally towel.
