PROGRAMME SPRING FESTIVAL
This Spectacular Spring Festival is almost a week of activities with colourful and fragrant hyacinths and tulips from the Bulb district of The Netherlands. The highlight is always Corso Saturday when the world famous parade travels from Noordwijk to Haarlem. See below for the main events and find practical details to accompany your visit.
15th - 17th April
DECORATION DAYS
For three days prior to the parade you can watch the art of decorating the floats at JUB Holland in Noordwijkerhout. Hundreds of volunteers are busily attaching the millions of flowers. With luck you may get a chance to give them a hand.
17th April
ILLUMINATED PARADE
On Friday evening you can view the Bloemencorso Bollenstreek flower parade in a different light. At 21:00 hrs we illuminate the floats with thousands of lamps as they drive through the charming village of Noordwijkerhout. An experience not to be missed.
19th April
FLOATS ON DISPLAY
On Sunday 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 the end of the afternoon we wave the floats a final goodbye.
ALL THE PARTICIPATING FLOATS IN 2025
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.
