Flower Parade in Zundert: A Colorful Spectacle!

Every year, on the first Sunday of September, the small town of Zundert comes to life with a vibrant spectacle: the Flower Parade. This traditional event attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world who come to admire the impressive floats, decorated with millions of dahlias.

The history of the Flower Parade dates back to 1936, when the very first parade was held in honor of the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest flower parades in the world, with more than twenty local neighborhoods competing to create the most spectacular float.

The process begins months in advance, when the neighborhoods start planning and designing their floats. Each float is entirely handmade and covered with dahlias in vibrant colors and intricate patterns. It is a labor-intensive process that brings the community together through creativity, teamwork, and craftsmanship.

On the day of the parade, the streets of Zundert transform into a lively celebration, where thousands of visitors gather to admire the breathtaking floats. This year, the Flower Parade will be even more festive, as it celebrates its 90th anniversary! While music, dancing, and festivities fill the streets, the enormous floats slowly pass by each one a stunning work of art, completely handmade using thousands of dahlia flowers.
