Pardon Parades in Where Winds Meet offer a public spectacle that turns punishment into a community event. Think of it as a criminal's walk of shame where players are actively encouraged to pelt the offender with food. This unusual activity is for fun, and it's also a functional system that helps jailed players reduce their detention time while giving everyone else a chance to earn some rewards.
For players who find themselves behind bars after a life of crime in the game, initiating a Pardon Parade is a way to cut their sentence. By voluntarily stepping into this public shaming, a criminal can have a full 60 minutes wiped from their detention clock. Read on to learn more.
How to find and join Pardon Parades in Where Winds Meet
Getting in on the action is straightforward, but you need to remember this is an online-only event. You won't find these parades happening in a quiet, single-player corner of the world.

The first step is to keep an eye on the upper-left corner of the screen. A special Time-Limited Tab will appear there when a parade is happening. For PS5 players, this involves clicking the Options Button and navigating all the way to the top.
Clicking on it opens up the opportunity to join. It fast-travels you directly to the event. However, there's a catch: each parade only has a limited number of spots. You need to try a few times before successfully securing a place in a bustling crowd.
Your role in Pardon Parades in Where Winds Meet

Once you've joined a parade, your job is simple. The event kicks off, and the convicted player is paraded before the crowd. You are then given a set amount of time to launch eggs or vegetables at them. To complete the event and claim your reward, you need to land ten throws within this time limit.
There's a generous freedom in how often you can participate. You can join as many Pardon Parades as you find throughout the week. The only restriction is on how often you can collect the participation rewards. The game allows you to claim these valuable rewards five times per week.
Even after your fifth successful parade, you can still jump in to heave tomatoes for fun or to help out a friend, but you just won't get the extra goodies for it.
