parade
A parade (also called march or marchpast) is a procession of people, usually organized along a street, often in costume, and often accompanied by marching bands, floats or sometimes large balloons. Parades are held for a wide range of reasons, but are usually celebrations of some kind. In Britain the term parade is usually reserved for either military parades or other occasions where participants march in formation; for celebratory occasions the word procession is more usual. In the Canadian Forces the term also has several less formal connotations.〔An ''evening parade'' in the reserve force refers to any assembly of troops for a period of instruction, drill, or office work while a ''first parade'' refers to a preliminary inspection of a vehicle before a road march. A ''C.O.'s Parade'' is an inspection by the Commanding Officer. There are also ''Defaulters Parades'' and ''Kit Parades''. 〕
Protest demonstrations can also take the form of a parade, but such cases are usually referred to as a march instead.
==Parade float==
(詳細はparade float got its name because the first floats were decorated barges that were towed along canals with ropes held by parade marchers on the shore. Floats were occasionally propelled from within by concealed oarsmen, but the practice was abandoned because of the high incidence of drowning when the lightweight and unstable frames capsized. Strikingly, among the first uses of grounded floats — towed by horses — was a ceremony in memory of recently drowned parade oarsmen. Today, parade floats are traditionally pulled by motor vehicles or powered themselves.
