The jewels of the carnival parade, the flower float compositions, can be seen by the public in the form of an exhibition this year as well, on August 20th on Nagyerdei körút, on August 21st and 22nd between and on Kossuth Square and Piac Street. On our national holiday, August 20th, in addition to the flower floats, those interested can also see the vintage bicycles on the Nagyerdei Boulevard, which evoke the historical beginnings of the flower carnival.
The flower compositions are made with dried flowers, live flowers and the use of hundreds of thousands of dahlias from the town of Zundert in the Netherlands, as well as the work of hundreds of sculptors, and constructors. This year we can also see new compositions decorated with implantable flowers.
The theme of flower carts freely presents the mission, work and connection of the defining large companies and partners of Debrecen to the life of the city.
The beginnings of the Debrecen Flower Carnival date back to the early 1900s. In September 1900, the Debreczen Civil Cycling Association organized a national cycling competition on the association’s new track, which was attended by several nationally renowned cyclists. The highlight of the competition was a large-scale flower ceremony.
Recalling the historical antecedents of the flower carnival, on August 20th, in addition to flower carts, those interested can see vintage bicycles dressed in flower ornaments on Nagyerdei Boulevard, where private collectors Attila Katona and Ákos Szabados and the community of Debrecen Veteran Cyclists present Csepel products, Ferenc Bécs craftsman and Sándor Papp bicycles, but a special bicycle will also be visible.
Date of the Veteran Bicycle Exhibition:
August 20th. 8.00-19.00 | Nagyerdei körút
The exact schedule of the flower
carriage exhibition: August 20th. 8.00-24.00 | Nagyerdei körút
August 21st. 8.00-24.00 | Kossuth tér and Piac utca
August 22nd 8.00-20.00 | Kossuth Square and Market Street
On August 20th, from 9 pm to midnight, the flower carriage compositions will be on display in the evening light.
The exhibition can be viewed free of charge at any location, without a certificate of protection.
Cycling parades have been an essential accompaniment to the Debrecen Flower Carnival for more than ten years now. On the evening of August 19th this year, we can tour the city on lighted bikes with hundreds of cyclists. Surprise music and light programs, both before and after the parade provide an unforgettable atmosphere.

For most of the journey, visibility to either side of the main road to Hortobagy extends for many kilometres. It is both beautiful and haunting, but it is far from lifeless as we found when we visited the settlement.
Hortobagy is a vast plain, a flat grassland wilderness that to the untrained eye is empty. I found driving through the vast open landscape for the first time a little unsettling. For most of the journey, visibility to either side of the main road to Hortobagy extends for many kilometres. It is both beautiful and haunting, but it is far from lifeless as we found when we visited the settlement.

On this day, Lion Fitness Debrecen adopted our female Asian lion named Hima.
Since August 10th, 2013, we have been celebrating World Lion Day at Debrecen Zoo to draw attention to the plight of these majestic and irreplaceable top predators. Lions currently inhabit barely 5 percent of their former habitat, a tenth of the number of individuals around just a hundred years ago. The fall in numbers is primarily due to the depletion of prey, habitat degradation, and hunting for human-animal conflicts.

Held for the 10th time this year, the main theme of the children’s festival is national values and their transmission in traditional and modern forms, as well as Olympic sports that promote quality movement.
“There is no more beautiful animal than a goose, he does not need a footpath,” sings Galiba, the goose in György Schwajda’s Ludas Matyi transcript. It was in this playful form that the “youth education” program of the Debrecen Flower Carnival was born, which came to a beautiful anniversary. Held for the 10th time this year, the main theme of the children’s festival is national values and their transmission in traditional and modern forms, as well as Olympic sports that promote quality movement.
