The parade, which celebrated the Villanova Wildcats' historic 2016 NCAA Championship victory and drew thousands of fans from across the region, stepped off from 20th and Market streets in Center City.
The men's basketball team and coaching staff, as well as Villanova University's cheerleaders and band, all took part.
The procession also included the Cardinal O'Hara High School marching band, and members of the 1985 National Champion Wildcat team.
The stars of the parade, though, were the 2016 champs, who rode atop a double-decker bus and took turns hoisting the NCAA trophy over their heads.
