The long-awaited procession of the ‘Flower Festival’ only starts at 4:30 pm, but more than two hours before the start there are already several people who, along the entire length of Avenia do Mar, mark their ‘little corner’ to watch the emblematic parade that brings together thirteen troupes .
The parade takes place on a scorching sunny day in Funchal, where, by this time, the thermometers mark 25ºC.
If you are going to the parade, take sunscreen, hat and water, it’s a hot day and the UV is very high, so it’s very easy to burn.
