carnival parade
Costumed street procession
A carnival parade is a procession of floats, costumed performers, and marching groups as part of a carnival celebration.
The term most often refers to the elaborate parades of Mardi Gras in New Orleans or Rio de Janeiro's Carnaval, featuring decorated floats, dancers, and crowds gathering along the route: We watched the carnival parade from a balcony on Canal Street.
