Corso Flower parade in Zundert 2017

September 3rd, Zundert. On the first Sunday of September every year since 1936, Zundert, a small town in the Netherlands that is the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh, puts on the worlds 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.
