Celebrating a national championship is a bucket-list experience for any fan, and the Michigan Wolverines' victory parade is the can't-miss event of the spring. If you're heading from Detroit to Ann Arbor to join the sea of maize and blue this Saturday, April 11th, navigating game-day traffic and parking can be a challenge. Fortunately, there's a convenient and affordable option to get you right into the heart of the action.

The Regional Transit Authority's D2A2 bus route provides a direct link between Detroit and the parade festivities. You can board at Grand Circus Park (Park and Adams Avenue) in Detroit and arrive at the Blake Transit Center in Ann Arbor, placing you just over a mile from the Crisler Center, where the team will be honored.

Planning your trip is straightforward. The first bus from Detroit departs at 7:30 a.m., arriving in Ann Arbor by 8:30 a.m., giving you plenty of time to find a prime spot before the parade steps off near the President’s House. Additional departures are scheduled throughout the morning and afternoon. With one-way tickets starting at just $6, it's a stress-free way to ensure you don't miss a moment of the celebration.

After you've cheered on the champions, buses will return from the Blake Transit Center to Detroit throughout the day and evening, with the last scheduled departure at 8:15 p.m. For full schedule details, ticket information, and to plan your championship day journey, visit the official D2A2 website. Now, all you need to do is grab your favorite Michigan gear and get ready to celebrate a historic season.
