Flower parades are an important Flemish tradition, and Loenhout’s corso has become an iconic example. Each year, teams of neighbors and clubs prepare floats and costumes months in advance, making it a deeply communal effort. It is recognized as part of Flanders’ intangible heritage (deel van immateriële erfgoed) related to social customs of parade-building.
