About the event

Bitburg in the Eifel celebrates carnival with a modest parade on Carnival Sunday. It features mainly walking groups, small floats and music, which makes it a pleasant outing with children. In recent years the route ran along Trierer Straße and Hauptstraße, past the Markt, to Bedastraße. After the parade the party continues on the Bedaplatz, where prizes are awarded to the floats. In 2025 and 2026 the parade started at 2:11 pm; the 2027 programme has not been published yet.
