The event, which started in 1968, attracts tens of thousands of visitors with twelve impressive floats decorated with millions of dahlias, reaching heights of up to ten meters.
The parade includes an afternoon parade and an illuminated evening parade, followed by a festival on Saturday where the floats can be admired.
Since 2000, it has been a theatrical parade with moving elements, music, and choreography.
The event, recognized as UNESCO Intangible Heritage in 2021, won the title of Best Public Event in the Netherlands in 2023.
Volunteers from the village of 2,500, organized by the Christian Orange Association, create the creations, which take months of preparation.
