Bollenstreek Flower Parade 2026

WHERE: Bollenstreek, Netherlands
WHEN: 18th April 2026

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. An event that, for decades, has become one of the most anticipated events in the whole of Holland, this year reaching its 79th edition!
