EBBSFLEET United will be touring the streets of Gravesend and Northfleet on Thursday to celebrate the FA Trophy success.
It will start at 6.30pm on Thursday (May 15) from The Fleet's ground in Stonebridge Road, Northfleet.
The parade route has not yet been finalised but it will go through Gravesend before arriving at the civic centre in Windmill Street where the squad will display the trophy on the balcony.
A sea of red and white similar to the one which covered the west half of Wembley when the team beat Torquay United on Saturday (May 10) is hoped for and the club is encouraging fans to bring along flags, banners, wigs and wearing the team's colours.
Gravesham Council is helping to organise the parade and has laid on the bus and is making arrangements for the route.
Council leader Councillor Mike Snelling said: "It was obvious that we had to do something suitable to give the people of Gravesham the chance to celebrate this wonderful success.

"We hope everybody will take the opportunity to join in."
It was decided to hold the parade four days after the victory rather than waiting till a weekend because the management and The Fleet's first team squad are taking holidays in the next fortnight.
The club wants to thank the thousands of fans that came out to support it at Wembley.
What a waste of time,most of the supporters of Fleet at wembley on saturday were from My football club.com.Most of the Fleet support was more intrested in watching the crowd do its stopid wave then watch the game. OTT i think so.
