A parade is a public march or procession honoring a particular occasion.
Parades take on different meaning depending on the mood and the reason for the parade.
In some places a parade may become an important part of a holiday tradition. In other places, a parade may mark a special event. Other parades may also be used so everyone can see some special person. Although the origins of parades are unknown, there is evidence of parades in cave paintings in Spain dating back ten thousand years ago. From these paintings, experts speculate that the earliest parades consisted of prehistoric men carrying back to camp their game they had killed during the hunt.
