About the event

The capital of the German-speaking Community celebrates carnival the Rhineland way, with a Rose Monday parade going back to 1884. Things start on Altweiber Thursday with the women's procession, and Sunday belongs to the children, with around thirty groups. On Monday some sixty groups form a parade more than 1.5 km long that winds over 7.5 km through town, from Werthplatz past Rathausplatz and Marktplatz and back again. In the evening the party carries on at Werthplatz. The AGK's official 2027 programme is not out yet, so the times given are provisional.
