Trier has several district parades, each taking place on its own carnival days – a tradition that spreads the carnival events over the three 'toll' days and also secures local festival and club life in the smaller districts. Pfalzel in the north of Trier, at the confluence of the Moselle and the Sauer section (former imperial abbey and a place with a rural-urban character for centuries), is one of the districts with its own active carnival club life.

The carnival parade on Sunday is Pfalzel's central public carnival event. Floats and walking groups from local carnival clubs, schools, and friendly clubs from the Trier surrounding area and neighboring Eifel villages parade through the district center. Assembly takes place in Rothildisstraße; the route leads through Pfalzel's main streets, ending at the central square. "Kamelle" (sweets) are thrown for the audience, especially for the children.

Afterwards, the carnival events move to the clubhouses and inns.
