Ticker-tape parade: Difference between revisions

A'''ticker tape parade''' is a [[parade]] event held in a built-up urban setting, allowing large amounts of shredded paper (originally actual [[ticker tape]], but now mostly [[confetti]]) to be thrown from nearby office buildings onto the parade route, creating a celebratory effect by the snowstorm-like flurry. The concept originates from and is most usually associated with the [[United States]], especially with [[New York City]]. Outside the United States, ticker tape is often associated with the [[1978 FIFA World Cup]] held in [[Argentina]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/worldcup2010/my_world_cup/8204746.My_World_Cup__Osvaldo_Ardiles__Argentina__1978__1982_/?ref=rss|title=My World Cup: Osvaldo Ardiles (Argentina, 1978, 1982)|date=8 June 2010|work=Lancashire Telegraph}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.talktalk.co.uk/sport/world-cup-2010/argentina-1978.html|title=World Cup history: Argentina 1978|accessdate=1 June 2015|work=TalkTalk}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/jonathanstevenson/2010/05/the_story_of_the_1978_world_cu.html|title=The story of the 1978 World Cup|date=18 May 2010|work=BBC}}</ref>
