Cultural parade

Parade of associations and flower floats.

The highlight of this edition, the float parade will take over the waterfront in a festive, friendly spirit. Showcasing the archipelagos, traditional know-how, the performing arts and the creativity of the participating associations, this popular parade will celebrate the richness of local heritage through costumes, songs, dances and sets inspired by island traditions. With 10 flower floats and nearly 2,500 performers, the procession will travel along the waterfront for about two hours, offering a colourful show that celebrates Polynesian culture in all its diversity.
