I sound like two matching items offering assistance, but I am actually a festive procession marching down the street with marching bands and floats. What am I?
A parade
The riddle uses homophones to build the target word from clues. Two matching items form a 'pair,' and offering assistance is to provide 'aid.' Spoken quickly together, 'pair-aid' sounds identical to 'parade,' which is a grand public march often held on festive holidays.
