RE: Visit Volcan, Panama - 2018 Flower Festival
That looks like a Panama style Rose Bowl Parade. When we lived in Indonesia, our city had a similar celebration. Originally the participants would dump the floats into the ocean to appease a sea goddess. Now they dump them at a local land fill.
What happens to the floats after the parade?
That's a pretty interesting way to dispose of the floats at the end! Well, I know that most of the sculptures are stored at a local hotel in off season, so maybe they all use the same float bases every year. I'm not really sure, but I should know after this weekend if we get to attend the parade! Good question though!
