Karnevalsumzug Roes
Carnival parade on Carnival Sunday in the Eifel village of Roes in the Kaisersesch municipality
About Karnevalsumzug Roes
The carnival parade in Roes is part of the vibrant village carnival tradition in the Kaisersesch municipality in the Cochem-Zell district. On Carnival Sunday, the small Eifel village attracts numerous revellers from surrounding areas, who spend a boisterous afternoon together with floats, walking groups, music, and carnival festivities.
In the 2026 carnival calendar, the parade is scheduled for Sunday, February 15th. Together with Hambuch and other neighbouring communities, Roes forms a network of parades that do not overlap, allowing revellers to attend multiple events.
Eifel Carnival in Roes
Roes is located in the Kaisersesch municipality, an area with a distinct carnival tradition. Despite its manageable population, the community intensely celebrates its Fastnacht (carnival): the carnival club, fire brigade, sports clubs, and neighbourhoods organise floats and walking groups that perform independently in the Sunday parade.
Character of the Village Parade
Unlike the grand Rose Monday parades in the big cities, the Roes parade is a village-style, family-friendly event. The route is manageable, the floats are handcrafted with great attention to detail, and the audience consists of neighbours, friends, and relatives of the participants. This closeness is the charm of the Eifel carnival.
Thematic Floats and Satire
Floats and walking groups often satirically address local political issues, community anecdotes, or general current events. Construction projects in the municipality, mayoral decisions, club mergers, or regional news are humorously mocked. The audience understands the allusions and celebrates the punchlines with loud 'Helau!' (a carnival cheer).
Refreshments and Customs
Mulled wine, beer, doughnuts, and hearty snacks are offered along the route. After the parade, the festive procession moves to the community hall or a marquee, where the celebration continues into the night with live music, a DJ, or carnival hits.
Karnevalsumzug Roes — edition 2026
The carnival parade in Roes will take place in 2026 on Carnival Sunday, February 15th. Floats from the village and surrounding areas will parade through the main street, accompanied by walking groups from clubs and families. Music, thrown items, and a festive atmosphere will characterise the afternoon before the carnival revelry moves indoors.
The exact programme for 2026 will be published by the organiser in spring/summer. The structure will follow the proven key points of previous years. The parade starts in the early afternoon, lasts about 90 minutes, and culminates in a subsequent carnival party in the community hall or marquee.
