Annual flower parade adds touch of color to Dutch village

An incredible collection of giant flower sculptures wowed spectators at the annual flower parade of Corso Zundert, which takes place every first Sunday of September in the small town of Zundert, the Netherlands.

Twenty different floats created in a yearlong process by volunteer teams of Zundert residents competed to win the title of the most beautiful design.

The parade, dating back to 1936, celebrates the region's reputation as a global supplier of dahlia flowers.

Legendary artist Vincent Van Gogh, who was born in the village in 1853, has often popped up as a theme or inspiration in Europe's oldest and the world's largest flower festival.
