Hungary’s most colourful parade! – 50th Flower Carnival of Debrecen – VIDEO

On 20^th August – within the framework of the 50^th Flower Carnival of Debrecen – 18 flower floats, 10 domestic and 17 international art groups will be introduced.

The carnival lasts from 14^th August until 21^st August, providing more than 100 programs, such as the spectacular Carnival night show where the audience will be entertained by 2,000 performers – reported by the city’s cultural deputy mayor, Szabolcs Komolay.

As hvg.hu describes, compositions of this year’s carnival procession salute the more than 1000-year-old Hungarian statehood and the state founder King St. Stephen; while bringing back the old carnival atmosphere. This year, six flower floats will travel to Nagyvárad – where besides others – the Holy Crown flower float can also be viewed. Florin Birta, the city’s deputy mayor, added that this year would be the 14^th occasion when Nagyvárad participates in the greatest Hungarian flower carnival.

Besides the spectacular flower parade, children entertainment shows will also be organised for the little ones.

Edit Bódor, the chief organiser, said that the 50^th Flower Carnival of Debrecen would be the first when the jury does not evaluate flower floats, everyone will be a winner of the parade.

This year for the first time, remembrance will be held for former organisers, participants, hosts thanks to whom the first flower carnival was organised in 1966.
