Saturday – the Annual floral parade to Haarlem, from Noordwijk – so if you are in the Netherlands and close to Haarlem or anywhere on the route – check with your hotel concierge – because this a parade that should be missed.
The world, including New Zealand in flowers
The theme this year is “Journey through Europe”
This will be the 63rd year of this Floral parade. It is a 40km route from Noordwijk to Haarlem. It should arrive in Haarlem at around 9pm. This year the parade will also travel along the Keukenhof Parade Boulevard at around 4pm – so if you are there stay and watch. The parade will have about 20 floats, around 30 floral and fragrant luxury cars as well as bands and marching teams. All the floats and cars will be decorated with millions of flowers.
It was a great sight last year through the dreadful drizzle and rain. check the weather here – at time of writing this the weather forecast was fine – SO this year it will be an even better event.
I wonder if they also have a competition to count the flowers.
We took this photograph of the world in flowers on Saturday 17th April when we rode our bikes out to the Keukenhof Gardens. This is land art, don’t you think?
