Celebrations!
The Battle of Flowers® Parade 2013 celebrates world festivals, heritages and anniversaries. Come - help us celebrate our world!
The Battle of Flowers® Parade is a theme based parade with the overall theme determined by the Battle of Flowers® Association. In turn, participants choose a theme for their entry which must fit into the composite design for the Parade, and which must be followed in decorations and costumes. The list of themes that follow will serve as a guideline. Entries are free to select from the list or suggest another theme you would like to use.
All entry themes must be approved by the Parade Board and are “first come, first serve” to assure that each entry is unique. Since the number of entries in the Parade is limited, please discuss your idea and confirm your selection with your Section Chair as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Remember that all float sketches must be approved by the Parade Board. Thank you for your participation!
