What to know about the 2024 Flower Parade Rijnsburg

Rijnsburg will be in the Dutch spotlight between 9 and 11 August when the 77th Flower Parade Rijnsburg rolls down the streets of Rijnsburg, Katwijk, and Noordwijk. This year’s theme is ‘Quintessentially Dutch’.

Huge crowds will watch over 300,000 flowers, fruits and vegetables on floats and cars. Dancing and singing actors on every floral float. Add to this the marching and brass bands on the musical vehicles, and the conclusion is a vibrant Flower Parade Rijnsburg 2024.

This year, the ‘Quintessentially Dutch’ theme will inspire the decorating of 72 floats, cars, and vehicles that will roll from Rijnsburg through Katwijk to Noordwijk on Saturday, 10 August. On Sunday, 11 August, the public can admire all floats in their full glory on the city’s Queen Wilhelmina boulevard.

Celebrations will begin on Friday, 9 August, the night before, when people will be offered a sneak preview during the Flower Parade Show at Royal FloraHolland Rijnsburg.

Now in its 77th year, Flower Parade Rijnsburg ranks among the country’s oldest floral events. Recent recognition by UNESCO added to the festive mood, and the Dutch ‘corsos’ were awarded intangible cultural heritage status at the beginning of 2023.
