Overview
- The 42‑kilometre flower parade ran Saturday from Noordwijk through Voorhout, Sassenheim, Lisse and Hillegom to Haarlem with dozens of decorated floats.
- Live coverage by Omroep West reported turnout of more than a million people along the route over the weekend.
- A jury named 'Insect Mecanique' the most beautiful float, selecting the KAVB entry noted for its many moving parts.
- The Province of Noord-Holland entered a float themed “Smooth and safe cycling” and released a video showing flowers picked about 1.5 weeks in advance, chilled, then fixed to frames by volunteers led by designer Inge Quint and coordinator Joke de Koning.
- The praalwagens remain on view in central Haarlem on Sunday, giving visitors another chance to see the designs up close.
