From iCenter.org:

There is something special about the celebration of every Jewish holiday in Israel, and Purim is no exception. It's become a tradition to hold a giant parade, called Adloyadah, in major cities in Israel.

Adloyadah (עַדְלָיָדַע, from the Aramaic עַד דְּלָא יָדַע) is the name of Israel's Purim parades. It is derived from the rabbinic saying (Meg. 7b) that one should revel on Purim until one no longer knows (ad de'lo yadah) the difference between "Blessed be Mordecai" and "Cursed be Haman." The first Adloyadah was held in Tel Aviv in 1912 and spread to other communities in Israel. It is celebrated by carnival processions with decorated floats through the main streets, accompanied by bands.
