The annual Spalding flower show
will take place during April/May 2013. The Spalding
flower show 2011 parade will be on the Saturday
in the first week of May 2013. This spectacular
parade of floats decorated with spring flowers,
will be accompanied by marching bands and dancers.
The Spalding flower show 2013 parade
on the Saturday weekend, starts and finishes at
the festival site at Springfields Gardens. Starting
normally at 2.00pm it travels a 4.5 mile route
around Spalding, arriving back at Springfields
at appriximately 5.00pm.
Introduced in 1959 by local growers,
the Spalding flower show 2013 parade has developed
into one of the UK’s most colourful events
with around 15-20 floats, marching bands, vintage
bicycles and many colourful characters.
The floats are all decorated with flowers taken
from the tulips grown for bulb production, and
are on display at the Festival Site within Springfields
Gardens on the morning of the parade, before leaving
in the early afternoon for the four-and-a-half-mile
parade route.
The Spalding flower show 2013 will attract around
250,000 visitors every year, with a parade made
up of over a dozen flower floats each covered
in 100,000 tulip heads, accompanied by marching
bands, vintage bicycles and many other colourful
characters.
The floral floats for the Spalding flower show
2013 are also on static display at the festival
site within the 25-acre landscaped Springfields
Gardens from 9am on the Saturday morning of the
parade, before leaving for their colourful journey
around the town in the afternoon. They then remain
at the festival site during the Springfields Country
Fair which ends on the evening of the Bank Holiday
Monday. Visitors are also invited to witness the
floats being carefully adorned with the thousands
of blooms on the Friday night.
The Country Fair, running parallel to the flower
festival, boasts a varied programme of entertainment,
stalls, a craft fair and demonstrations.
