Construction days Flower parade Holland 2024
17 April – 09:00 – 19 April – 13:00
The world-famous Bloemencorso Bollenstreek will ride again on Saturday 20 April 2024. Are you curious about how the floats are made? Then take a look behind the scenes on Wednesday 17 April to Friday 19 April during the Flower Parade build-up days. During these days, hundreds of volunteers will decorate the floats with flowers.
Construction days Flower parade
The build-up days are meant for young & old. Have you always wanted to see how a corsow truck is made? Then the assembly days are a must. The corsow trailers are supplied in large halls in three days by hundreds of volunteers with fragrant and colourful spring flowers such as hyacinths, daffodils and tulips and many other bulbous flowers. The flowers are attached to the design of the trolley in a special way; we call this ‘stitches‘. If you are lucky, maybe you can try it yourself. How nice it is then when you see ‘your’ own work pass by during the corsow weekend.
Opening hours to the public
The build-up days are in 2024 on Wednesday 17, Thursday 18 or Friday 19 April 2024 at DeLeeuw Flowerbulbs in Sassenheim. This flower bulb company has been hosting the assembly days for many years. You just can’t just walk in.
