Lichtenvoorde is the scene of a blooming spectacle on the second Sunday in September. This year, a dahlia parade consisting of dozens of large and small wagons will roll through the streets. The millions of dahlias in dazzling colors, the supporting figures on high vehicles, and of course the inviting music, together make for an impressive parade. All the festivities around the Flower Parade Lichtenvoorde will take place for three days.
