It’s that time again! The Dutch are celebrating with their annual Bloemencorso flower parades, and we are so excited to see the entries this year.

Since 1936, the town of Zundert in the Netherlands has held an annual flower parade on the first Sunday of September- Corso Zundert. The purpose of this parade is to celebrate the region’s popular reputation of being the global supplier of dahlia flowers. Zundert has 81 acres of 600,000 dahlia flowers- 50 different species to be exact.

When the parade first began, the floats were modest and pulled by horse-drawn carts or bicycles. Today, the parade has become unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Celebrating Van Gogh’s birth in this small town 162 years ago, this year’s inspiration was stemmed from his work. These enormous floats are dripping in dahlia flowers and tower over the streets of Zundert. Check out the photos below to see some of the most impressive structures you’ve ever seen.
