Bosch Parade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bosch Parade is a biennial celebration in the Netherlands in which creative artistic exhibits float by on the Dommel River, which can include swimmers, acrobats, welders, singers, and water sprayers.[1] Floats are designed by professional artists and designers who collaborate with choreographers, composers, directors, and the final production requires many volunteers.[2] The event is usually held during a few days each June.[2] The artistic director is Miesjel van Gerwen. The celebration was named in honour of the 15th century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch.[2] Guidelines include only minimal use of power or motors.[2] It attracts thousands of visitors who watch from the banks of the river.[3]
