The grand carnival parade in Bitburg takes place on Fastnacht Sunday at 14:11 and this year starts as the highlight of the street carnival. There will again be many music bands and carnival floats, as well as costumed groups from Bitburg and the surrounding area.

The parade starts on Stock and then turns onto Trierer Straße. From there, the carnival procession moves along its usual route through the pedestrian zone and past the Roman wall. After the parade, many pubs will provide further entertainment - partly with live music - and at the youth center, the traditional "Shark Bar" will be back.
