multiple public streets or thorougfares are required to have a street event
permit."

Definition of Parade from Austin City Code, Volume 1, Chapter 8-11

"PARADE means any march or procession or similar display consisting of 50 or
more persons, animals or vehicles, or combination thereof upon any public
roadway which does not comply with normal and usual traffic regulation or
controls."

Section 8-11-28 of the City Code further states " It shall be unlawful for
any person participating in any parade, for which a permit hereunder has
been issued, to fail to comply with all directions and conditions of such
permit and all applicable laws and ordinances."
