Parade

A bright colourful and noisy walk through the town.

Often used as a means to repay the local town for any help/assistance they have given to BJC

Try to make your parade exciting and a spectacle people would want to see, many parades are led by a Samba band and a section of people juggling, then a long dribble of people shuffling along behind. If you can work on getting the shufflers to look juggly as well it will make the parade look a lot better.

Maybe give the parade a theme (e.g. juggling pirates) and publicise this theme to convention-goers in advance so they can bring or wear something to fit with the theme.

As well as sorting out the logistics of getting the convention-goers to the start of the parade, you will also need to get permission from the council/police to hold a parade, and you may be asked to pay substantial amounts of money to cover the costs of road closures etc.

Additional complications can arrive because many town centres are now privately owned. An extreme example would be the centre of Middlesbrough which is car-free, but owned by three different companies, in order to organise a Parade in Middlesbrough would involve discussions with all three.
