Although the flower parade is not named this way, you can be certain, that this event is going to be huge. The parade is not only the biggest flower parade in the Debrecen area; it is the biggest in the whole country.

These compositions are made of hundreds of thousands of flowers. The show ends with a street party and fireworks.
