Flower Corso of Sélestat

The dahlia festival since 1929

 

A not-to-be-missed event in the Selestadian summer, the Corso Fleuri has been attracting tens of thousands of visitors every August since 1929.

This event, so popular with the people of Sélestadien and Alsace, but also with visitors from across the border and beyond, consists of :

  • two parades - one during the day and one at night - of floats decorated with dahlias, interspersed with musical ensembles and street performers
  • a fireworks display
  • lively themed squares: the Place de l'Alsace with its wine fair and performances by folk ensembles, the Place des Enfants, the Dahlia Ball with musical entertainment, etc…
  • and many other events throughout the town centre
