The goal of my long visit to the South of the Netherlands was the Bloemencorso in Zundert; a yearly parade of flowerfloats. These are organised all over the Netherlands, but Zundert is the oldest (since 1936!) and biggest corso (20 floats) every first Sunday in September. Every neighbourhood (or hamlet) of Zundert has been working for months to build their own dahliafloat. On the Friday before the parade, they start putting on the fresh flowers; it's a community effort to get all the floats ready for the Sunday Parade.
I visited the Bloemencorso in Zundert before (in 2016 [LJ and 2018 [LJ].
This year I signed up for a corsotour on Saturday, where you get to hear about the history of the event and you visit two construction sites, to take a closer look at the finishing touches on the floats! Come join me :-)
( Visiting flowerfloat construction sites! )
Up next will be my photos of the flowerparade. If you can't wait I have already posted my videos at my YouTube, here's my playlist: Bloemencorso Zundert 2024.
