Flower Parade Bollenstreek

The Flower Parade Bollenstreek is the largest spring festival in the Netherlands. 
It is an annual flower parade (since 1947) featuring a colorful procession of floats, fully decorated with millions of fresh spring bulb flowers such as tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils. 

Route: Approx. 42 km from Noordwijk to Haarlem, passing through villages in the Bulb Region (such as Voorhout, Lisse, and Hillegom). 
When: Traditionally on the first Saturday after April 19. 
Special feature: The only major parade in the world that takes place in the spring and is constructed entirely from fresh bulb flowers (not paper or other materials). 
Visitors: Attracts nearly 1 million visitors annually. 

It is a celebration of scents, colors, and Dutch flower bulb culture – a must-see during the tulip season!
