The Flower Parade in Zundert, the
Netherlands, takes place in September.
It’s famous for its fl oats, which
are made of fl owers. You can see
fantastic animals, people, buildings,
motorcycles, and even astronauts. Who
makes these works of art?
Every year, there is a fl oat competition
at the parade. Twenty villages enter
the competition, and each village
makes one fl oat. Most people in the
village help make their fl oat. The
younger people build it out of wire,
papier-mâché, and cardboard, and
the older people grow thousands of
fl owers for it. They all work on the fl oat
for three months during the summer.
Then, three days before the parade,
everyone decorates the fl oat with the
fl owers.
It’s hard work, but the people from
the village enjoy working together.
They make friends and have fun,
and sometimes their fl oat wins the
competition!
