From the organisers: 
 

Using the occasion presented by the 50th anniversary of the Debrecen Flower Carnival, let us pay our respects to flower float creations from past decades: poring over the selection from earlier years, we have chosen themes that we found worthy of being recreated and presented to today’s audiences.

Of course, the methods applied in the construction of the floats, the design trends, and the flowers used for decoration – thanks, especially, to dahlias coming from the Netherlands – have changed immensely in the past 50 years.

We also wanted to freshen up some ideas behind former creations, so our aim was not to replicate old flower floats but to use their themes as inspiration.

Therefore, floats taking part in the 50th anniversary carnival procession will, in some cases, only resemble their predecessors in certain motifs or ideas, while others may continue a concept introduced by an earlier creation. We hope that everyone will enjoy these unique works of art!
