Brabant Carnival and Bloemencorso Zundert

In North Brabant, civic life transforms during the Brabant Carnival: towns and cities adopt traditional carnival alter-egos (such as Oeteldonk for 's-Hertogenbosch, Kielegat for Breda, Kruikenstad for Tilburg, and Lampegat for Eindhoven), with schools closed all week.

In Zundert, the Bloemencorso Zundert takes place on the first Sunday of September as the world's largest floral parade, showcasing large-scale sculptures made of millions of dahlias.
