In Belgium, the winners of the 2026 Bloemencorso have been announced, with ‘Chérie@Casino Blankenberge’ noted as a significant winning entry. Other competitive floats included ‘Koning Kat’ from Dendermonde and various entries from Aalst.

In Zundert, Netherlands, the Molenstraat neighborhood is organizing a social experiment for a parade scheduled for September 6. A design team has created a float featuring the words ‘WELLES’ in yellow and ‘NIETES’ in red to provoke public debate. The project involves multi-generational community participation.
