The festival is divided into themes by year, a large-scale parade with the participation of countless costume artists, creating an emotional atmosphere that satisfies visitors' eyes
.
The Battle of Flowers
The theme idea of the battle of flowers is that on horse-drawn carriages on the street, there are 2 or 3 young women, wearing eye-catching outfits, throwing thousands of beautiful flowers to the surrounding audience.
The Light Parade
Finally, the Nice Carnival ends in a grand light party, with a parade of horse-drawn carriages all shimmering with light. Artists will dress up as many different characters to impress the audience.
