This is a high-class filming of the kick-off of some famous fashion show in Paris.

But the "goose-parade" is a common event, apparently, in Belgium and the Netherlands. It is said that in medieval times, it was all about marketing the geese, headed to the dinner table, but now it is about good cheer. Therefore, one can see a good goose parade in shopping districts or theme parks.  The duo in the above video is often seen marching their geese in the above countries. They have a decided theatrical, carnival vibe.

I can't imagine that anyone could see a goose parade and not smile.
