4/01/2009 - 4/30/2009Bulb District Flower Parade
Noordwijk-Haarlem,
Netherlands
The 'Bloemencorso van de Bollenstreek' is a parade of flower-decorated floats that makes a slow 40km (25 miles) passage from Noordwijk to Haarlem, where the cavalcade forms an illuminated display overnight. A different theme is adopted each year for this popular festival, which usually attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators who line the length of its route. About 20 large floats are piled high with carefully arranged blooms in a profusion of scent and colour, and more the 30 decorated luxury cars follow, interspersed with marching bands. The town of Noordwijk is treated to a special illuminated parade on the Friday evening beforehand.
