The Minnesota Lynx swept the Atlanta Dream on Thursday to win their second WNBA championship in three years. The team will show off their trophy during a parade and celebration on Monday in Minneapolis. (We have a photo gallery of their championship run here.)

The parade will start at 11:30 a.m. on the corner of 12th Street and Nicollet Avenue and run down Nicollet to 7th Street, where it will make a turn onto 7th Street, cross First Avenue and end at the backstage doors of Target Center.

The Target Center celebration will start at about 12:15 p.m. -- after the parade -- but doors open at 11:30 a.m. There, a video will recap the season, and Lynx players are expected to address their fans.

Both the events are free and open to the public.
