20 teams of volunteers from different hamlets competed to win the best-designed flower float.
The annual flower festival was founded in 1936, and it is a celebration of the Netherlands’ iconic flower exports.
The parade is held yearly in the little town of Zundert. The flower floats are accompanied by performers and marching bands.
