Carnival in the Rhineland — Troisdorf Style

Troisdorf, located in the Rhein-Sieg district east of Cologne, is deeply rooted in Rhenish carnival tradition. With over 80,000 inhabitants and seven large districts, the city is large enough to afford its own carnival with a main parade and seven separate district parades. The Festausschuss Troisdorfer Karneval e.V. (FTK) has been coordinating events for decades.

Tulip Sunday Parade — Highlight on February 15th

Sunday, February 15th, 2026, starting at 1:30 PM: The main parade starts in Blücherstraße and proceeds via Theodor-Heuß-Ring, Ringstraße, Siebengebirgsallee, and Frankfurter Straße through Troisdorf's city center. Floats, dance troupes, music bands, and carnival societies from Troisdorf and affiliated clubs will throw Kamelle (sweets), Strüßjer (small bouquets), and candy into the crowd. Afterwards, the After-Parade Party starts at 4:00 PM in the Stadthalle Troisdorf, Kölner Straße 167.

Seven District Parades — Carnival in the Neighborhood

Session Motto 2026

"Troisdorf es laut un bunt — Met Üch zosamme jeht et rund" — the official session motto in Kölsch / Troisdorf dialect celebrates the togetherness of carnival joy. It is a commitment to the Rhenish tradition of community and a "loud, colorful" zest for life.
