CVP Prunksitzung (Saalfasnacht) — 1. Carneval-Verein Pirmasens

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.
