Corso Flower parade in Zundert

On the first Sunday of September every year since 1936, Zundert, a small town in the Netherlands on 2nd September 2018 that is the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh, puts on the world’s largest volunteer-run flower parade, with a raft of over-the-top floats made from local dahlias. With bonkers-looking entries from competing local districts electrifying the streets of the town in the form of outsize flower-based foxes, red-haired ladies, dragons, and other creatures and abstractions, with each 66-foot-long, 33-foot-high float made from some half a million dahlias. This year the neighborhood "Stuk namen trots de prijs in ontvangst" won the competition with an amazing creation, "Iguana Interaction".
