一年一度的游行活动在比利时边境的小镇Zundert举行,20辆巨型彩车由市内不同的地区设计而成。为了鼓励更广泛的创造力,游行从来没有主题,让团队自由设计任何他们想要的东西,花车在20到10米之内,并且完全用大丽花装饰。今年的游行见证了从一架被拆解的737客机到弹吉他的头足类动物等各种各样的东西,其中最突出的奖颁给了“马力”。

Located in the small town of Zundert at the Belgian border, the annual parade features 20 giant floats created by various districts within the city. To encourage a wide breadth of creativity the parade never has a theme, leaving teams free to design whatever they want as long as the floats fit the within 20 x 10 meters and are completely adorned with dahlia flowers.This year the parade saw everything from a deconstructed 737 airliner to a guitar-playing cephalopod, with the first place prize awarded to the brawny flexing horse float, Horsepower.If you want to explore a bit more, there are more photos of the 2014 event courtesy Omroep Brabant, and you can also see our Corso Zundert coverage in 2013 and beyond.
