victory parade

Winners march publicly

A victory parade is a public procession celebrating a military triumph or championship win.

Soldiers march through streets after wars end; sports teams ride floats through downtown after winning titles.

The parade allows the public to honor the victors and share in the celebration: The city threw a victory parade for the Super Bowl champions.
