Netherlands flower parade [PHOTOS]

The annual ‘Corso Zundert’ Flower Parade took place in the Netherlands on Sunday, September 4, 2016.

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.

There were different flower floats made from thousands of dahilas at this year's parade. The designs ranged from animals to people to mystical creatures.

This winner this year had a float titled 'Dangerous Transportation'. It was a giant orange dragon. The team that designed the float is called Tiggelaar.
