minus-squareNocturnalMorning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·4 months ago humans have a deep need to celebrate and to come together in large groups and have shared experiences Isn’t that what parades are for? personally I feel they remind me that there are bigger things out there than the daily grind of existence There are other ways to get that. The universe is huge, look up on a quiet night with little light pollution.

Parades are also for showing off nuclear warheads and how precisely your soldiers can march. Fireworks are a more non centralized version of it. Everyone can participate in the fireworks, not just stand there and watch. Also they burst in air, giving them better visibility than something that just flows down the street in front of you.
