The AFL Grand Final Parade is observed in Victoria, Australia, every September 26. This event takes place the day before the AFL Grand Final, which is a significant Australian rules football match determining the season's premier. The parade features players from the competing teams, who typically ride in open-top vehicles through downtown Melbourne. Since 1977, this parade has been a cherished tradition, and it coincides with a public holiday in Victoria established in 2015. The AFL Grand Final itself has a rich history, dating back to its first match in 1898, and is celebrated with pre-match performances by various music stars. The event is organized by the Australian Football League, which was founded in 1896 and has evolved from its original name, the Victorian Football League.
