What you need to know
- Over a million spectators, busiest around Lisse, Keukenhof and the start and finish, calmer between the villages
- Roads close around the route 2 hours before and after the parade passes your spot, so come by bus, bike or on foot
- Goes ahead in rain, so pack rain gear for a long roadside wait in April
About
Bloemencorso Bollenstreek is a parade of giant floats covered in hyacinths, tulips and other spring flowers, rolling 42 km from Noordwijk to Haarlem through the bulb-growing villages. Kids see animals, buildings and characters built entirely from blooms, with music between them. Find a spot along the road and you smell the hyacinths as each float passes. It suits families happy to wait at the roadside in a big crowd.
