Flower Parade at Hillegom

Hillegom Flower Parade

23 April 2016

Actually we didn’t plan to watch the Flower Parade. We planned to visit flower field at Lisse. We took bus to Lisse, but since we didn’t realize that the monitor that showing bus stop name was not working, we passed Lisse and end up at Hillegom. Luckily, we just in time for the flower parade (at around 05 pm).

This annual flower parade consists of many floats decorated with flowers. Days before, they prepared the floats, and 3 days before, with a small fee (EUR 5) publics can participate decorate the floats. Then, on April 23, they will have the parade which was start from Noordwijk at 9.30 am to Haarlem. The parade will also pass by Keukenhof. The parade will arrive at Harleem around 21.30.
