Footage from the preparations shows volunteers working on the structures and carefully fixing individual dahlias in place. The event, known locally as the Corso, has been held in Zundert since 1936. Organisers say around 400,000 dahlias can be used on a single float. The parade draws visitors from across the Netherlands and abroad and is seen by locals as a source of pride for North Brabant.
