This was last summer.

Those parades, i think we have 4 or 5 of them, are held each year in a the flower producing regions. Most of them are in spring. The one in Zundert is in summer. Usually a theme for the parade is selected. They are ALWAYS over the top. Very popular with tourists too.

I'm reminded of the annual Battle of the Flowers in Jersey, which started in 1902.
