The 2011 premiership winning Cats team will be paraded through the streets of Geelong on Wednesday after they brought the Cup back to the city by the bay.

The parade will start on the corner of Malop and Swanston Streets and wind through the city before finishing at the Steampacket gardens on the waterfront.

Once at the gardens, the team and coaching staff will be presented on stage and the official mayor of Geelong John Mitchell will bestow the mayoral title on a member of the Cats.

The parade will kick off at 11am and the team will be presented at the Steampacket gardens at 12pm.
