Floriade is a world horticultural exhibition that takes place in the Netherlands only once a decade. It is the 7th time that the exhibition is held in the Netherlands, this time at a beautiful location in Almere. Dutch horticulture brings the theme ‘Growing Green Cities to life in collaboration with national and international participants at the Expo.
Many people call this flower parade the Keukenhof Flower Parade. The real name is Bloemencorso Bollenstreek.
The origins of this event took place in 1947, just after World War II. When the World War was over the need for parties and socializing was great. Organizing parades began. The procession consisted then of a couple with flower garlands, decorated trucks and handcarts. The local band preceded.
