A cavalcade is a procession or parade on horseback, or a mass trail ride by a company of riders. The focus of a cavalcade is participation rather than display. Often, the participants do not wear costumes or ride in formation. Often, a cavalcade re-enacts an important historical event and follows a long distance trail. A cavalcade may also be a pilgrimage. Many cavalcades involve ceremonial entries into and departures from towns and villages along the way. A small version of such a ceremonial entry is the "grand entry" that is traditional in many rodeos. Long distance cavalcades may acquire more riders with each departure from a populated place along its route. The term cavalcade comes from the classical Latin word ''caballus'', used to describe a strong work horse. This developed into the word ''caballicare'', "to ride horseback", which in Italian became ''cavalcare''. ==United States== In New Mexico, Philmont Scout Ranch includes a week-long cavalcade among its programs. The annual pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayó includes a cavalcade of classic cars on Good Friday. Traditionally, the pilgrimage is made on foot; a few pilgrims ride horses.〔(Flickr.com: Chimayo pilgrims on horseback, 2008 )〕 Columbus, New Mexico is the end point of the annual Cabalgata Binacional Villista (see #Chihuahua). In Texas, numerous long distance cavalcades occur annually in conjunction with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo; the oldest of these was established in 1952. A 110-mile cavalcade is held annually on the Chisholm Trail (paved roads) from Cuero to San Antonio in conjunction with the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo.〔(Lazy F Guest Ranch )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cavalcade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
