In the fist glance of these pictures can you figure out what those floats were made off? The figures on the floats are made out Dahlia flowers.
It is the Corso Zundert annual parade, a celebration of the Netherlands’ most iconic exports: flowers.
The event was founded in 1936 and since then it has been held every year in the small town of Zundert where 20 teams of volunteers from different hamlets compete for the best designed parade float.
Apart from the vibrant Dahlia flowers, the float designs are often incorporated with moving elements and are accompanied by marching bands and other performers along the parade route.
This year’s winner titled “Dangerous Transportation” who featured a giant dragon and was designed by the Tiggelaar hamlet. You can see a full listing of all 20 parade floats here.
Photos below are from this year’s event and were shot by John DG Photography, and you can watch a video of the entire parade below.
