About
A parade of floats covered in fresh flowers rolls down the Alameda with the falleras mayores and their courts of honor. Then the battle starts: riders and spectators in the stands throw more than a million carnations at each other. It has run since 1891 and closes the July Fair. Kids watching from the fence see the floats up close, but the throwing is a stands game.
