  ticker-tape parade
A ticker-tape parade is a parade event, held in a downtown urban setting, allowing the jettison of large amounts of shredded paper products from nearby office buildings onto the parade route, creating a triumphal effect by the snowstorm-like flurry.
The term originated in New York City after a spontaneous celebration held on October 29, 1886 during the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, and is still most closely associated with New York City.
Soon after the first such parade in 1886, city officials realized the utility of such events and began to hold them on triumphal occasions, at first only for extraordinary events, such as the return of Theodore Roosevelt from his safari in Africa.

Published On By GODFFREY S. ARADES IN NEW YORK City are always an extravagant affair--from ticker tape parades for astronauts to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade featuring every cartoon character from Betty Boop to a Mutant Ninja Turtle.
The conflict surfaced when the Hibernians attempted to exclude the gay group from the parade, arguing that it was their right as a private organization to do so.
There is new evidence which suggests that another Irish-American organization, the F.B.I. Emerald Society, was admitted to the parade although its application was not in the waiting list.
