Vollenhove Flower Parade

The Vollenhove Flower Parade, organized by the Vollenhove Association for Popular Entertainment, takes place annually on the last Saturday of August in Vollenhove, Overijssel. 
This UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage event attracts tens of thousands of visitors with towering floats decorated with millions of dahlias and other materials. 
The day includes a Children's Parade (10:00 AM), an Afternoon Parade (2:00 PM), and an Evening Parade (8:30 PM), with musical accompaniment from top bands, marching bands, and street theater. 
The week-long festival offers additional activities such as the Dahlia Princess pageant and a Food & Flowers Festival. 
Volunteers and float builders work for months on this colorful tradition, which has existed since 1905.
