About the event

In Kerkrade, right on the German border, the whole carnival is held in the local Kirchröadsj dialect and run by the KVV, founded in 1936. On Saturday at 1.11 pm the children's parade (Kinger Tsóg) opens the party, followed by a programme on the Markt square until 8 pm. On Sunday the city prince receives the key on the Markt (D'r Maat). Unusually, the big Monday parade, the Jroeëse Tsóg, sets off in the morning at 11.11 am; its 2027 route has not been published yet. On Tuesday afternoon, at the Klone Trekke, colourful clown groups march from the districts into the centre.
