39th “Blumencorso” Flower Parade - Wrap up report
A total of 65 vehicles presented an unusual and glorious spectacle to 10,000 spectators in picture-perfect summer weather.
A repertoire of 11 old timer fire brigade trucks, 17 old timer cars, 7
Porsches, 9 old timer tractors and 25 floral floats formed the backbone of the
parade. Most of the figures this year were crafted by trained woodcarvers, who fashioned
their statues out of styrofoam. We would like to extend a vote of thanks to
Martin Albrecht of Leutasch who contributed greatly to the success of the event
through his statues.
The winner of this year’s “Blumencorso” Flower Parade was a stunning “Ball
Magician” made by Hotel Post together with Kaufhaus Albrecht. It was about 3
meters high, 2 meters wide, was covered with about 8,500 flowers plus additional
adornments. Second place went to Hotel Klosterbräu, which scored highly through
its depiction of the Matterhorn in Switzerland. It was closely followed by the
entry from Cabriohotel Karwendel in Leutasch with its Eagle, which won the
hearts of many onlookers.
Commentator DJ Alex and Radio Tirol Jukebox made sure that a great atmosphere could be felt by everyone present. They played trendy oldies and hairy pop/rock numbers to get the spectators into the mood. A further highlight was provided by the world renowned football artist Alfred Reindl: a 45-minute show of spellbinding entertainment in which a demonstration of his headball world record was also not lacking (150 headballs in 30 seconds!). For the younger visitors, Kinderfreunde Innsbruck constructed several stations with a variety of games which especially challenged the dexterity and nimbleness of the children.
This attractive and colourful event is considered a seasonal high point for
young and old alike. Next year it will take place in Seefeld for the 40th time!
