About the event

Roermond celebrates a compact carnival centred on its old town. It starts on Friday at 12.11 pm with the Sjolefestasie youth party on the Stationsplein, followed on Saturday from 11.11 am by the Sjtasiefestasie in the same spot. On Monday at 1.11 pm the Grote Remunjse Optoch leaves the Roer quay (Roersingel/Roerkade) and winds via the Markt, Munsterplein and Neerstraat to the Stationsplein, with prizes around 4.30 pm. On Tuesday the Bacchusdrieve closes the party on the Roerkade: around 3 pm a straw figure of Bacchus is thrown into the river Roer. A carnival funfair stands on the Munsterplein from Friday to Tuesday.
