Trier Christmas Market
In Germany's oldest city, the Christmas market fills the medieval Hauptmarkt and the square in front of the cathedral.
Free. You can support the parade by buying the Zugplakette (parade pin), on site or in the ATK web shop.
Trier's Rosenmontagszug is the biggest carnival parade in the region, close to the Luxembourg border. On Monday 8 February 2027, groups line up from 9 am on Medardstraße in Trier-Süd, and the parade moves off at 11:11 am. It runs through the centre via Neustraße to the Roman Porta Nigra, then on along Paulinstraße to Herzogenbuscher Straße. The liveliest stretch is from Neustraße to the Porta Nigra, while Saarstraße, Paulinstraße and Herzogenbuscher Straße leave more room for families. From 3 pm the party carries on in the SWT-Arena; the parade order is published on Saturday 6 February.
