We're visiting in summer. Are there still flower fields to see?
Yes, just not tulips. Keukenhof closes after spring, but the bulb growers keep planting, and in July and August fields around Lisse and in North Holland often carry lilies, gladioli and dahlias grown for the bulb trade. The big summer flower event is Corso Zundert, a parade of giant floats covered in dahlias on the first weekend of September; it ran on Sunday 6 and Monday 7 September 2026, and by the same first-Sunday rule falls on Sunday 5 September 2027, with the Monday after. A summer drive through the bulb country takes about four hours (€260 in Business Class); the parade makes a nine-hour day.
