On Friday evening 19th April you can view the Corso in a different light. At 9 p.m. we illuminate the floats with thousands of lamps as they drive through the charming village of Noordwijkerhout. An experience not to be missed.
21st April
EXHIBITION OF THE FLOATS
On Sunday 21st April, the floats are on show one last time in the historical floral city of Haarlem. Use the opportunity to take perfect pictures surrounded by music and entertainment while enjoying a drink at one of the cafes. At 5 p.m. we wave the floats a final goodbye.
THE ROUTE
In 2024, the Bloemencorso flower parade will travel from Noordwijk to Haarlem on Saturday 20th April.
ALL THE PARTICIPATING FLOATS IN 2024
For all our participants the spring jitters began already back in the autumn. This is when the drawing, designing, welding and wrapping of the models commences. A team under supervision of a designer decides the theme and look of the construction and all the additional parts that make up the final float.
