Nathan MacKinnon will soon parade the Stanley Cup through downtown Halifax.

The Cole Harbour native announced on social media last night that Saturday, August 20th will be his day with the Cup.

The parade featuring the Colorado Avalanche forward will begin in front of Scotiabank Centre at noon.

The route will head down Brunswick Street to Spring Garden Road, then to South Park and Sackville streets, eventually coming back up Brunswick to Carmichael Street.

It will end at Grand Parade, and there will be a question and answer session in front of City Hall at 1.
