A few more licks of paint, a screw here and there and especially checking whether all moving parts actually move. The builders of the floats for the Great Afternoon Parade during Alkmaar Ontzet are putting the finishing touches. In addition to the builders, the actors and dancers are just as important for a successful parade. They came to visit the builders to view the cars.
The Great Afternoon Parade is one of the highlights during Alkmaar Relief. The builders of the floats have been working for months to make their float as spectacular as possible. In addition, Alkmaar is celebrating this year that it defeated the Spanish during the 80 Years’ War 450 years ago. An anniversary parade, and that is why the volunteers of the Great Afternoon Parade are going all out this year.
