The story behind it
This nocturnal parade reflects a cross-border Moselle carnival tradition. The name means "night cavalcade", in echo of Germanic fastnacht customs (similar to Cochem or Trier). It combines Luxembourgish carnival customs with the region’s wine-making heritage (taking place along the Moselle river), celebrating community identity in a rural town.
