City of Orlando to Honor UCF with Block Party Downtown

The city of Orlando will honor the University of Central Florida’s undefeated football season with a block party Monday night downtown.

The UCF Knights finished the 2017 season 13-0, capped off with a 34-27 win over Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

Despite the school’s unblemished record, the Knights were shut out of the College Football Playoff.  After the Peach Bowl win, UCF named itself the National Champion.

Disney honored the team on Sunday with a parade in the Magic Kingdom.  The city of Orlando will follow suit on Monday.

Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer will present the team with a key to the city.

The family friendly block party runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Festivities include a pep rally.
