Banqueting and music have continued to be two important entertainments since ancient times.</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Entertainment</b> is a form of activity that holds the attention and <a href="/wiki/Interest_(emotion)" title="Interest (emotion)">interest</a> of an <a href="/wiki/Audience" title="Audience">audience</a> or gives <a href="/wiki/Pleasure" title="Pleasure">pleasure</a> and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but it is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. </p><p>Although people's attention is held by different things because individuals have different preferences, most forms of entertainment are recognisable and familiar. <a href="/wiki/Storytelling" title="Storytelling">Storytelling</a>, <a href="/wiki/Music" title="Music">music</a>, <a href="/wiki/Drama" title="Drama">drama</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dance" title="Dance">dance</a>, and different kinds of <a href="/wiki/Performance" title="Performance">performance</a> exist in all cultures, were supported in <a href="/wiki/Court_(royal)" class="mw-redirect" title="Court (royal)">royal courts</a>, and developed into sophisticated forms over time, becoming available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry that records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products, to a <a href="/wiki/Banquet" title="Banquet">banquet</a> adapted for two, to any size or type of <a href="/wiki/Party" title="Party">party</a> with appropriate music and dance, to performances intended for thousands, and even for a global audience. </p><p>The experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with <a href="/wiki/Amusement" title="Amusement">amusement</a>, so that one common understanding of the idea is <a href="/wiki/Fun" title="Fun">fun</a> and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose. This may be the case in various forms of <a href="/wiki/Ceremony" title="Ceremony">ceremony</a>, celebration, <a href="/wiki/Religious_festival" title="Religious festival">religious festival</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Satire" title="Satire">satire</a>, for example. Hence, there is the possibility that what appears to be entertainment may also be a means of achieving <a href="/wiki/Insight" title="Insight">insight</a> or intellectual growth. </p><p>An important aspect of entertainment is the audience, which turns a private <a href="/wiki/Recreation" title="Recreation">recreation</a> or <a href="/wiki/Leisure" title="Leisure">leisure</a> activity into entertainment. The audience may have a passive role, as in the case of people watching a <a href="/wiki/Play_(theatre)" title="Play (theatre)">play</a>, <a href="/wiki/Opera" title="Opera">opera</a>, <a href="/wiki/Television_show" title="Television show">television show</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Film" title="Film">film</a>; or the audience role may be active, as in the case of <a href="/wiki/Game" title="Game">games</a>, where the participant and audience roles may be routinely reversed. Entertainment can be public or private, involving formal, scripted performances, as in the case of <a href="/wiki/Theatre" title="Theatre">theatre</a> or <a href="/wiki/Concert" title="Concert">concerts</a>, or unscripted and spontaneous, as in the case of <a href="/wiki/List_of_traditional_children%27s_games" class="mw-redirect" title="List of traditional children's games">children's games</a>. Most forms of entertainment have persisted over many centuries, evolving due to changes in culture, technology, and fashion, as with <a href="/wiki/Magic_(illusion)" title="Magic (illusion)">stage magic</a>. Films and <a href="/wiki/Video_game" title="Video game">video games</a>, although they use newer media, continue to <a href="/wiki/Storytelling" title="Storytelling">tell stories</a>, present drama, and <a href="/wiki/Music" title="Music">play music</a>. <a href="/wiki/Festival" title="Festival">Festivals</a> devoted to <a href="/wiki/Music_festival" title="Music festival">music</a>, <a href="/wiki/Film_festival" title="Film festival">film</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Competitive_dance" title="Competitive dance">dance</a> allow audiences to be entertained over a number of consecutive days. </p><p>Some entertainment, such as public executions, is now illegal in most countries. Activities such as <a href="/wiki/Fencing" title="Fencing">fencing</a> or <a href="/wiki/Archery" title="Archery">archery</a>, once used in <a href="/wiki/Hunting" title="Hunting">hunting</a> or <a href="/wiki/War" title="War">war</a>, have become <a href="/wiki/Spectator_sport" title="Spectator sport">spectator sports</a>. In the same way, other activities, such as <a href="/wiki/Cooking" title="Cooking">cooking</a>, have developed into performances among professionals, staged as global competitions, and then broadcast for entertainment. What is entertainment for one group or individual may be regarded as work or an act of cruelty by another. </p><p>The familiar forms of entertainment have the capacity to cross over into different media and have demonstrated a seemingly unlimited potential for creative <a href="/wiki/Remix" title="Remix">remix</a>. This has ensured the continuity and longevity of many themes, images, and structures. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary" title="Oxford English Dictionary">Oxford English Dictionary</a> gives Latin and French origins for the word "entertain", including <i>inter</i> (among) + <i>tenir</i> (to hold) as derivations, giving translations of "to hold mutually" or "to hold intertwined" and "to engage, keep occupied, the <a href="/wiki/Attention" title="Attention">attention</a>, thoughts, or time (of a person)". It also provides words like "merry-making", "pleasure", and "delight", as well as "to receive as a guest and show hospitality to".

Whatever their mood or primary purpose, parades attract and entertain people who watch them pass by. Occasionally, a parade takes place in an improvised theatre space (such as the <a href="/wiki/Trooping_the_Colour" title="Trooping the Colour">Trooping the Colour</a> in ) and tickets are sold to the physical audience while the global audience participates via broadcast. </p><p>One of the earliest forms of parade were "<a href="/wiki/Roman_triumph" title="Roman triumph">triumphs</a>" –  grand and sensational displays of foreign treasures and spoils, given by triumphant Roman generals to celebrate their victories. They presented conquered peoples and nations that exalted the prestige of the victor. "In the summer of 46 <a href="/wiki/Before_common_era" class="mw-redirect" title="Before common era">BCE</a> <a href="/wiki/Julius_Caesar" title="Julius Caesar">Julius Caesar</a> chose to celebrate four triumphs held on different days extending for about one month."<sup id="cite_ref-155" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-155"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>155<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In Europe from the Middle Ages to the <a href="/wiki/Baroque" title="Baroque">Baroque</a> the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Entry" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Entry">Royal Entry</a> celebrated the formal visit of the monarch to the city with a parade through elaborately decorated streets, passing various shows and displays. The annual <a href="/wiki/Lord_Mayor%27s_Show" title="Lord Mayor's Show">Lord Mayor's Show</a> in London is an example of a civic parade that has survived since medieval times. </p><p>Many religious festivals (especially those that incorporate <a href="/wiki/Processions" class="mw-redirect" title="Processions">processions</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Holy_Week_procession" title="Holy Week procession">Holy Week processions</a> or the Indian festival of <a href="/wiki/Holi" title="Holi">Holi</a>) have some entertainment appeal in addition to their serious purpose. Sometimes, religious rituals have been adapted or evolved into secular entertainments, or like the <a href="/wiki/Festa_del_Redentore" title="Festa del Redentore">Festa del Redentore</a> in Venice, have managed to grow in popularity while holding both secular and sacred purposes in balance. However, <a href="/wiki/Pilgrimage" title="Pilgrimage">pilgrimages</a>, such as the Roman Catholic pilgrimage of the <a href="/wiki/Way_of_St._James" class="mw-redirect" title="Way of St. James">Way of St. James</a>, the Muslim <a href="/wiki/Hajj" title="Hajj">Hajj</a> and the Hindu <a href="/wiki/Kumbh_Mela" title="Kumbh Mela">Kumbh Mela</a>, which may appear to the outsider as an entertaining parade or procession, are not intended as entertainment: they are instead about an individual's spiritual journey. Hence, the relationship between spectator and participant, unlike entertainments proper, is different. The manner in which the Kumbh Mela, for example, "is divorced from its cultural context and repackaged for Western consumption –  renders the presence of <a href="/wiki/Voyeurism" title="Voyeurism">voyeurs</a> deeply problematic."<sup id="cite_ref-156" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-156"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>156<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Parades generally impress and delight often by including unusual, colourful costumes. Sometimes they also commemorate or celebrate. Sometimes they have a serious purpose, such as when the context is military, when the intention is sometimes to intimidate; or religious, when the audience might participate or have a role to play. Even if a parade uses new technology and is some distance away, it is likely to have a strong appeal, draw the attention of onlookers and entertain them. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerycaption">Parades across cultures</li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 215px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 210px;
