Zundert Flower Parade 2014

Zundert is a small town just 28 miles (45 kilometers) from where I live. Every year, the town hosts the world's biggest flower parade. In Zundert, the flower parade is a social event. Each and every person in Zundert, young and old, is involved in some way or other in construction of the floats and the keeping of the flower fields.

The older members are often responsible for planting and growing the dahlias, while the younger people are responsible for designing the floats, building the scale models and overseeing the construction, the details, the coloring and all other aspects of creating the huge floats.
