The expression derives from the Hebrew ad de-lo-yada (until one no longer knows).
According to the rabbis, participants should celebrate on Purim until they no longer know the difference between "Blessed be Mordecai" and "Cursed be Hamman".
The first Adloyada was held in Tel-Aviv, in 1912, and spread to other communities in Israel.
It is celebrated by carnival processions with decorated floats through the main streets, accompanied by bands.
But I still didn't give a complete answer - Why is Purim Parade a carnival parade?
As I've written in previous post, the name of Esther means hiding. Rabbis referred to God's role as hester panim - hiding of the Face. An important message that can be gained from the story is that God often works in ways that are not apparent and we think that it is coincidence or ordinary good luck.
