Corso Zundert - Dutch

Hello! I am Corso Zundert. I am a big, colorful parade. My parade happens every year in a special town in the Netherlands. The town is named Zundert. Many people come from all over to see me. They get so excited to watch all the amazing things in my parade as they roll down the street.

My most special part is my giant floats. They are huge, bigger than a car and sometimes as tall as a house! They are not made of wood or plastic on the outside. Instead, they are covered in thousands and thousands of pretty flowers. The flowers are called dahlias, and they come in all sorts of bright colors like red, yellow, white, and pink. The floats look like giant sculptures made of soft flower petals. They are designed to look like animals, people, and other incredible shapes.

It takes a lot of work to get ready for my parade. Many people in the town of Zundert work together for a long time to build the floats. They grow all the dahlia flowers themselves in big fields. For three days before my parade, everyone helps. Children and grown-ups all work together to carefully stick every single flower onto the giant floats until they are completely covered. Everyone in the town helps make me beautiful for everyone to see. I am a special day that shows what amazing things people can create when they work as a team.
