The expression Cavalcade goes back to 1349 and referred to a parade with horses and people. Today it is understood as a carnival parade. The first Cavalcade in Diekirch was organized in 1870.

Until 2005 the route ran through the pedestrian zone of the old town, today it leads around the old town.

More than 50 decorated floats, 10 groups and organisations on foot and four music ensembles jollied their way in true carnival style, delighting the crowds along the way. Once the parade reached its destination in the town centre by early afternoon, the festivities and partying continued throughout the day.
