WHERE: Bollenstreek, Netherlands
WHEN: April 20, 2024
In April, in Holland, the thousand colors and scents of Spring await you in the most evocative and fascinating parade you can witness: the Bloemencorso.
The name literally means flower parade and takes place every year, during the Spring Festival, in Bollestreek, the Dutch district where bulbs are grown.
A spectacular journey of over 40 km between Noordwijk and Haarlem, passing through Keukenhof, to admire the beautiful parade of flowers in the flower-growing area bulbs.
You will be able to admire the most beautiful floats covered with tulips, hyacinths and daffodils that will parade before your eyes. A riot of truly incredible colors and scents.

WHERE TO EXPERIENCE THE PARADE TO THE BEST
Keukenhof, not far from Amsterdam, is one of the most beautiful flower gardens in the Netherlands, if not in the world.
In our opinion this is one of the most magical places to admire the parade and make your experience unforgettable.
At 3.44pm, the parade will also pass through this wonderful botanical park. You can admire it along Keukenhof Boulevard, the long avenue located on the side of the main car park.
To watch the parade you must purchase an entrance ticket to the Park. You must arrive before 11:00. After this time, in fact, numerous roads around the area will be closed. More info here.
