About CVP Prunksitzung

The Prunksitzung of the 1. Carneval-Verein Pirmasens (CVP) is the highlight of the Pirmasens Saalfasnacht. On February 7, 2026, the Festhalle will transform into the grand hall of merriment: over 150 'Gardemädels' (carnival dancers), 'Büttenredner' (comedic speakers), show dance groups from Baden and the Palatinate, and the traditional CVP program ensure an evening full of pace, humor, and elegance. The following day, the club's 'Kinderfasnacht' (children's carnival) also takes place in the Festhalle — a cross-generational weekend for Pirmasens carnival enthusiasts.

The CVP — Tradition of Pirmasens Carnival

The 1. Carneval-Verein Pirmasens is one of the traditional carnival clubs in the region. With its Prunksitzung in the Festhalle, the CVP continues the format of the classic Saalfasnacht, which is cherished in many Palatinate and Baden towns. The session is a fully planned stage program with 'Bütt', dance, music, and a strict session flow, as required by carnival dramaturgy.

Over 150 'Gardemädels' and Show Dance Groups

A particular strength of the CVP session is its opulent dance program. More than 150 'Gardemädels' and show dance groups from Baden and the Palatinate participate in the session. This exceptional participation makes the evening a true parade of the regional dance scene and guarantees spectacular show acts.

'Büttenredner' and Musical Contributions

In addition to dance, the 'Büttenreden' are the traditional core of every Prunksitzung. Local personalities and guest speakers comment on the world, the city, and club life with the humor typical of the 'Bütt', in rhyme and in the Palatinate dialect. Musical contributions — from party bands to solo performers — complement the program.

'Kinderfasnacht' on the Following Day

On February 8, 2026, the day after the Prunksitzung, the CVP 'Kinderfasnacht' takes place in the same Festhalle. The club thus creates a complete weekend for Pirmasens carnival enthusiasts of all generations — from the little ones in costumes to the tradition-conscious carnival-goers.

CVP Prunksitzung — edition 2026

On Saturday, February 7, 2026, the 1. Carneval-Verein Pirmasens invites you to the Prunksitzung at the Festhalle Pirmasens. Over 150 'Gardemädels', 'Büttenredner', and show dance groups from Baden and the Palatinate will shape the evening, which is one of the carnival highlights of the 'Shoe City'. Pace, elegance, and the unmistakable Pirmasens humor characterize the program. On the following day (2.8.2026), the CVP also invites you to the 'Kinderfasnacht' at the Festhalle.

The 2026 Prunksitzung follows the CVP's proven format. The Festhalle Pirmasens, as the city's central venue, provides the appropriate setting for the Saalfasnacht. The club has been designing the program for years with a high standard for dance and stage presence.

The exact program for 2026, including the order of 'Bütt' contributions, dance groups, and show acts, will be announced by the CVP in advance. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: entry of the 'Garden', welcome by the committee presidency, alternating contributions from 'Bütt' and dance, main speaker, and session finale.
