The St. Martin's Parade in Speyer has a much longer history. Among lots of smaller parades of the kindergardens and schools there is on St. Martin's Day (Nov. 11th) a central parade, since over 50 years. The participants (mostly children with their parents) meet at 17:30 h on the Fish Market, and then they walk through town centre towards the cathedral, and into the cathedral gardens. The parade is lead by the holy St. Martin on a horse (small picture).
