The Jersey Battle of Flowers is an annual carnival held in the Channel Island of Jersey on the second Thursday of August. The festival consists of music, funfairs, dancers, majorettes and a parade of flower floats alongside various street entertainers. It was inaugurated in 1902 to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. The largest attendance to date is thought to be that of 1969 when 60,000 people were present. Current spectator numbers are around 20,000. The major floats are usually produced by the parishes of Jersey.

  • De Battle of Flowers (letterlijk de veldslag van de bloemen) is een jaarlijks bloemencorso dat op het kanaaleiland Jersey plaatsvindt. Diverse soorten wagens worden met bloemen versierd. Bij gebrek aan bloemen wordt ook wel papier gebruikt. Bij gebruik van papier is er meer voorbereidingstijd, want de op de wagens geplakte bloemen verleppen al na een dag. Tevens worden geverfde graspluimen gebruikt. (nl)
