A parade is the displacement in a row, either in formation or in order, that takes place in a political or military event, with the mission of honoring, or failing that, displaying before the eyes of the eyes something, such as clothing, displayed to be marketed or to disseminate a designer's art. The idea of a parade can be used to name the march that follows a certain route. These marches, which can take place on foot, in vehicles or on horseback, are generally held to celebrate or commemorate an event.
When the parade is performed by members of the armed forces, it speaks of a military parade. Those who parade wear their uniforms, display their banners and can even display their weapons.
Military parades often include the participation of a musical band that is in charge of interpreting the marches. In this way, the participants advance to the rhythm of the music.
Civic or civil parades, on the other hand, are conducted by people who do not belong to the military. Sometimes these are demonstrations with social or political content, such as the gay pride parade.
In addition, as these types of events tend to have a significant presence of the public, the parade of these military bodies usually arouses a great attraction, no one wants to miss their tour of the streets.
On the other hand, and outside of the aforementioned areas, we can also find parades but they have other purposes.
In the world of fashion, catwalks are hyper- popular and long-awaited events, because it is precisely in fashion shows, as is known, that designers, either individually or as a group within the framework of a festival, conglomerates present their new garments collections.
The most common format for fashion shows is models marching in a row displaying both designer clothing and accessories. Meanwhile, the closing of the show is designed by a model dressed in a wedding dress, the design of the designer in question, of course.
Another additional attraction presented by fashion shows are models, generally women of great physical beauty, who end up becoming popular characters in their countries given their constant exposure at these events.
In addition, at carnival time, the parade is a very present event, since it is through it that companies and groups display their floats and costumes.
