Traveling back in time isn’t possible, but this vintage video can take you on a virtual trip almost a century into the past. It depicts a parade in Omaha in the late 1930s and all of the fanfare that accompanied that special event.

The parade pictured is probably the 1939 Golden Spike Days Parade in downtown Omaha, though the uploader wasn't quite sure of the date or location. Regardless of the exact year, this fun video beautifully conveys the excitement that went along with such a big event.

The music and sound effects in the video aren't original; they were added afterward to enhance the footage. Step into the 1930s for a few minutes and enjoy what looks to have been a super-fun day.
