How it works
- Floats are entered in floral and paper classes, in senior and junior sections.
- The top awards are the Prix d'Honneur, the Prix d'Excellence and the Grand Prix des Fleurs, with special awards for design, costume, animation and illumination.
- The name comes from the early parades, when flowers were thrown from the floats into the crowd.
Recent years
The full parade was cancelled in 2025 and a smaller free event was held. It returned to Victoria Avenue in 2026 with more than twenty float entries.
