My hometown of Lodi, CA is known (or was) as the locus for growing the Flame Tokay grape. The local festival is known as the Grape Festival and showcases all the varieties grown in the area along with a parade through town. However, AFAIK no one has ever tried to build a parade float exclusively of grapes.
