paraide
Da long succession of sweet-tooth-afflicted children who descend on da driving- and marching-exhibits for Independence Day dat are lined up at da starting-point, and beg candy off'n them while they're still just sitting there, even before said procession actually gets started on their clanging and booming way down Main Street!
Many towns have stopped allowing candy to be distributed at their annual "mass-march down Main Street" shindig, to reduce da safety risks and health detriments; said restriction prevents said festivities from including an initial "paraide", as well.
