Bloemencorso

Bloemencorso

", "flower pageant" or "flower procession". [Van Dale "Groot Woordenboek" Nederlands-Engels] In a parade of this kind the floats ("praalwagens") and cars are magnificently decorated or covered in flowers. Each parade has its own character, charm and theme. Many towns and regions in the Netherlands and Belgium hold parades every year.
