Ode to Bloemencorso Bollenstreek <\/h2>\n\t\n\t\n\t<\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t

The paintings are an ode to the parade, its rich cultural history, the bulb district and the bulb trade. The work has been commissioned by Simon Pennings and his daughter Sylvia of Tulip Experience Amsterdam in Noordwijkerhout, a new tourist attraction which tells the story of the Tulip and the bulb growing area. <\/strong><\/p>\n

During the official opening of Tulip Experience Amsterdam on 17th March, Noordwijk Mayor Wendy Verkleij will reveal the first panel which celebrates the world heritage community that for 75 years has held the largest summer festival in Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Intrinsically linked<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\n\t<\/div>

The Bloemencorso Bollenstreek celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2022. A tradition started after the war by Hyacinth grower Willem Warmenhoven from Hillegom passed to Tulip grower Simon Pennings from Noordwijerhout who in 9 panels will pay homage to the parade's 75 years and show that the bulb trade and the parade are intrinsically linked with each other.<\/p>\n

Simon Balyon started painting his ode to the Bloemencorso Bollenstreek in October 2021. He will highlight the floats moving against an impressionist landscape of the bulb district. Local buildings will arise in their traditional splendour.
The paintings will show the bulbs fields in their full glory<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Paying Homage to 75 years Bloemencorso Bollenstreek<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\n\t<\/div>

\n\t\t

Chairman Willem Heemskerk is delighted with this series of panels to celebrate the 75th anniversary ''Now the parade has achieved the status of Immaterial Cultural Heritage we are more aware than ever of our obligation to pass on our traditions and honour our history. With this ode to Bloemencorso Bollenstreek we can welcome more individuals to enjoy the this internationally recognised tradition. This is exactly what a heritage community carries out together. Fantastic.\"<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
