Bloemencorso🌺

The first Bloemencorso took place in 1936 in the town of Zundert, making it the oldest flower parade in the Netherlands. The idea was inspired by the region’s flourishing horticultural industry and the desire to celebrate the beauty of flowers through artistic and communal expressions. This initial parade laid the groundwork for what would become a widespread tradition across various Dutch towns.
