Its also the largest parade in the world.
Huge floats are made of wire, cardboard and papier-mache and entirely covered in dahlias in intricate designs.
Building a float for the bloemencorso is mainly a social event.
It has to be as perfect as possible so you can win the competition.
The last three days before the actual parade are the most stressful.
If necessary, the builders will work day and night to have their float ready on Sunday.
Most people in Zundert will happily give up their days off to work on the float.
The social cohesion that comes from building it is very important.
A hamlet is like a family where everyone knows each other and everyone is welcome.
