Adloyada^[a] (Hebrew: עדלאידע‎ Hebrew pronunciation: [ˈ(ʕ)adlojada(ʕ)], lit. "Until one no longer knows") is a humorous procession held in Israel on the Jewish holiday of Purim (or on Shushan Purim the second day of Purim, commanded to be celebrated in "walled cities", nowadays only in Jerusalem).^[2]

The Adloyada parade is a tradition dating back to the early days of Tel Aviv, in 1912. During the days of the Yishuv, the Adloyada was a mass event; it was resumed after the state of Israel was reestablished.

The name is derived from the rabbinic saying in the Talmud that one should revel on Purim by drinking "until one no longer knows" (Aramaic: עַד דְּלָא יָדַע ʿad dəlāʾ yāḏaʿ‍) the difference between "blessed be Mordecai" and "cursed be Haman".^[3][4][5]
