cavalcades
Formal horseback processions
Cavalcades are processions, originally of riders on horseback but now of any vehicles or people moving in ceremonial formation: The inaugural cavalcade wound through downtown.
The word retains a sense of spectacle and celebration—motorcades, parades, or any grand procession designed to be witnessed.
