The team is scheduled to return to San Francisco International Airport at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, although no public or media events were scheduled with the arrival of the team’s charter.
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Montgomery Street at Washington Street, the mayor’s office said. It will head south on Montgomery Street to Market Street, where it will go west to City Hall.
The public is invited to line the sidewalks along the parade route or gather in Civic Center Plaza for the celebration. Attendees are advised to arrive early and take public transportation.

Great! I am looking forward to watched online video and I can't wait to see it. I am wondering where the parade will start from Piers 36 to downtown SF?

Here is the email blast I received from my building office:
While the start time is 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 3, at Montgomery and Washington Streets, beginning at 10 PM on the evening before the parade, Washington Street between Davis and Montgomery will be closed. Cross traffic will be allowed until sometime between 9 AM and 10 AM. They are closing Washington so early for security, to set up barricades and to mark the streets with chalk for the proper placement of all the vehicles which will be in the parade. SFPD will be handling cross traffic for the staging area.
At Pier 48 sometime between 8 AM and 9 AM, the Giants will host a continental breakfast for invited guests. They will load people onto motor coaches and cars for the parade. There will be 1000 walkers who will lead the parade and they will be bused up to Washington Street. The
players and their families will be placed on motorized cable cars (2 players & families per car) and will also be staged on Washington. They
will start loading at 9:15 AM and will start arriving on Washington St. at 10 AM. There will be 30 other types of vehicles including several floats, convertibles, Bay Quakers etc. to carry the other VIPS.
McAllister Street will be fenced from Van Ness to Larkin with 8' high fencing and a green screen so people can not see through. Sidewalk will remain
open.
The SFPD estimates it will take 2 hours for the parade to finish. The streets will remain closed until DPW has swept the area - they will pre-stage their equipment. Market will be closed for cross traffic once the parade starts. MUNI is working with the SFPD to see if it is possible to allow MUNI through on 3rd, 4th and 5th, but not sure this can be done.
There will be zero tolerance for alcohol during the parade.
SFFD will have units on both sides of Market Street so they will plan on not being able to cross Market along the parade route
No transportation agency is adding service for the parade.
MUNI REROUTES:
Final details remain to be worked out, but here is a summary of what is
being done so far:
The 5, 19, and 21 will be rerouted for the parade beginning at 10 AM. They will use Van Ness to get around the closure.
The 41 line which uses Washington will reroute using Sutter to Stockton and there will be reroutes of the 10 and 12 lines when the intersections
of Sansome and Battery @ Washington close.
There will be either delays or rerouting for the # 1 line as Clay and Sacramento cross Montgomery as well as for the 61 Cable Car line at
California and Montgomery. The # 2 and 3 lines which use Bush and Sutter will also be impacted.

Agreed, Pat! It was a crazy day here, indeed. In fact, here by Second Street and Bryant, the bars have been overflowing all day, and you can see a steady stream of folks milling by the ballpark. The streets of SF have been filled with revelers all day, it feels like.
Quite a sight!
I'll be raising one to the Giants after work. Anyone want to come with?

Does SFPD haven't any arrested or disorderly conduct? IS that no problems at all. I knows alcohol is zeros tolerance policy. You cannot allowed to bring the alcoholic beverage due to SF Giants parade.
