A parade signified a festive occasion; it was a ceremonial procession involving people, vehicles, and even creatures, all marching together to honor a specific event. Following the liberation of the planet Naboo from the clutches of the Trade Federation, the Naboo people and the Gungans jointly organized a parade in Theed. This parade served to both celebrate their hard-won victory and to symbolize the start of their fresh friendship. On Lothal, fifteen years following the rise of the Galactic Empire, Empire Day was observed with a parade held in Capital City.
