Volunteers process 1 million flowers for Bloemencorso

Preparations are in full swing, dozens of volunteers are processing 1 million dahlias in a race against time. They work day and night. These are often impressive constructions meters high. There is no time to lose because you can’t do anything with wilted flowers.

The theme of the flower parade is ‘Out and about!’. A reference to the past two years in which we had to miss a lot. Also the Blankenberge top event. For more than a century, the parade has been the colorful end of the Blankenberge summer season. The flowers come from the Netherlands. Fresh off the field. Despite the hot summer, the quality of the flower harvest is very good. Exceptionally even.

If you want to see the volunteers at work for yourself, you can visit the various sheds tomorrow.
