It is unfortunate that the initial main parade was impacted by rain. While I cannot recall a festival with such consistent precipitation, I acknowledge that some past events may have experienced similar conditions. The continuous drizzle was certainly a notable factor.
The first of two parades for this year’s Flower Festival kicked off today.
The Flower Festival procession is always a highlight of the festive season in the region, where flowers, the public, and music blend together to form a procession recognized internationally for its quality.
Despite the rain, a large crowd is present to watch a parade recognized internationally.
Participating on this first date are the ANIMAD Association, the Geringonça Animation Association, the Caneca Furada Samba School, Nuvem D’Afectos – Cultural and Recreational Association, Rosa Flor – Cultural, Recreational and Sports Association, and Tramas e Enredos – Association and Samba School, who promise to bring the procession to life with music, dance and tradition.
