Victory parade

In the 21st century, politicians in nations such as Ukraine and Azerbaijan have stated their intentions to hold victory parades after the resolving of regional conflicts, in this case the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the War in Donbass respectively.

[1][2] Parades such as the following are traditionally held on 9 May to celebrate the victory in World War II over Nazi Germany: In some CIS countries (of the former USSR), primarily the Russian Federation, victory parades are held annually in every major city celebrating the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945).

[citation needed] Other victory parades honor the following: Cities hosting the winning team in one of the four major professional sports leagues, plus Major League Soccer, will host a victory parade in the city that the team represents.

In addition victory parades are held on campuses of major colleges and universities to celebrate NCAA championships in football, baseball and basketball.

With the creation of the Celebration Bowl in the fall of 2016, the top Football Championship Subdivision historically black college or university that has, thru this bowl game, won the Black college football national championship, is thus eligible to host such a parade on that college or university's home town or city following the Celebration Bowl championship victory.
