Each year Zundert, which is a small town in the Netherlands, hosts a unique event: the largest floral parade in the world. It gives the flower-lovers an opportunity to discover floats decorated with thousands of colorful flowers. We share with you the photos of the parade from year 2013.
If most of the famous parades are held in the middle of summer, the Flower Parade held in the Dutch town of Zundert is always held on the first Sunday of September. Whether it is sunny or not, the average attendance is almost and always around 50,000 people. The parade has been held regularly each year since 1936. This prestigious parade for year 2013 was held September 1. A good way to start the month. The beautiful and decorated floats deserve not to be missed!
The artists have worked for several months to create these impressive floral sculptures. Moreover, the Flower Parade also rewards the most impressive floats.
