The Battle itsef orginally consisted of dismatling the floats to provide floral ammunition for a literal Battle of Flowers between participants and spectators, but this aspect has long been abandoned. Since 1989, a night time Moonlight Parade has been introduced. The Moonlight Event ends with a large firework display.
