The Jersey Battle of Flowers is an annual carnival held in the Channel Islands of Jersey on the second Thursday of August. The festival consists of music, funfairs, dancers, majorettes and a parade of flower floats alongside various street entertainers. The 'battle' itself originally consisted of dismantling the floats to provide floral ammunition for a literal battle of flowers between participants and spectators, but this aspect has long been abandoned. In 1989, the Moonlight Parade with floats festooned in lights was introduced. The parade ends with stunning fireworks display.
