The Flower Parade returns after a 4-year hiatus, with an “Outdoor” theme this year.
On Sunday, March 24th, the highly anticipated Corso Fiorito will take place. On Saturday, March 23rd, there will be a parade of marching bands and folk groups.
The famous parade of flower floats, which revives the tradition of the Sanremo Flower Carnival that originated in the Belle Époque, will for the first time feature floats from Locarno (Switzerland) and Mentone (both will parade out of competition, as will Sanremo).
Another new feature of this edition is that after the parade, the out-of-competition floats will be positioned at Pian di Nave where they can also be admired in the afternoon.
The Corso Fiorito is recognized by the MIBACT ministerial decree as one of the most important “Historic Carnival Events”. Organized by the Tourism Department of the Municipality of Sanremo, it is a highly popular event that RAI annually dedicates a special “Linea Verde” to, with truly significant audience figures.
Thousands of people flock to Sanremo every year to attend the event.
On Sunday, March 24th, the parade of floats will start at 10:30 am.
The ring route will wind its way through the following city streets and squares: Lungomare Italo Calvino – Piazzale Carlo Dapporto – section of the cycle path parallel to Via Nino Bixio up to Giardini Vittorio Veneto.
3 laps are scheduled: the last lap will be filmed by the cameras of Linea Verde (Rai 1).
Access to the route will be free of charge.
Paid seating (stands) will be positioned on Piazzale Carlo Dapporto, at a cost of 30 euros + presale.
Access to the stands will be allowed until 9:30 am.

A bit of history about the Corso Fiorito
The Corso Fiorito was born in 1904 with the name “Festa della Dea Flora”. On that occasion, carriages decorated with floral compositions and products from the local area paraded through the streets of Sanremo. The success was such that it became an annual event which, after the war, took the name of “Italia in Fiore” and the flower floats were joined by marching bands and folk groups. There was then a period of interruption from 1966 to 1980, when the event resumed with renewed vigour, becoming one of the flagship events of the calendar of events of the Municipality of Sanremo with the name of “Corso Fiorito”.
In the second half of the 1990s, it experienced a new phase of success and notoriety even outside the city limits thanks to the inclusion of the parade and the award ceremony in the “Linea Verde” programme with the name of “Sanremoinfiore”, to a new and more regular format such as the assignment, each year, of a theme on which the masters of floral composition are called to compete, and to the vote of a jury, also composed of well-known personalities.
