In a period when minutes seem to last for hours, time can also race past us. We remember hearing for the first time that the parade was cancelled. What a disappointment but at the same time it made us even more determined to shine in 2021 with all the glory along the 42 km route.

Nothing could be less true when we heard on 18th January 2021 that also this year the parade has been cancelled. Disappointment rained again, perhaps even more heavily. Luckily 1500 volunteers make up the Bloemencorso family and a few put their heads together to come up with an alternative.
