Flower Parade Build-up 2025: Introduction
The Flower Parade Build-up 2025 offers a unique opportunity to see how the famous Bloemencorso Bollenstreek comes to life. From Wednesday, April 9, to Friday morning, April 11, dedicated volunteers will meticulously decorate the parade floats with vibrant, fragrant spring flowers such as hyacinths, daffodils, tulips, and many more.
Would you like to experience the creation of these floral masterpieces up close? This is your chance!
Step Inside the Flower Parade Workshops
During these three build-up days, hundreds of volunteers will work tirelessly in large halls, bringing the designs to life. Each flower is carefully attached to the floats using a special technique called ‘steken’—a fascinating process that ensures every detail is perfect.
Visitors can walk through the venue, observe the craftsmanship, and even try placing a flower on a float themselves. Imagine the excitement of spotting your own handiwork in the grand parade!
