The event is known for its elaborate parades, music, and dancing, as well as traditional costumes and masks. During Carnaval, the streets of Sint-Truiden are filled with floats, marching bands, and costumed revelers who come together to celebrate and have a good time. The festival typically includes a variety of activities such as street parties, live music performances, and competitions for the best costumes. One of the highlights of Carnaval in Sint-Truiden is the crowning of the Prince and Princess of Carnaval, who lead the festivities and participate in various events throughout the festival. The celebration culminates in a grand parade through the city, with participants throwing confetti, candy, and other treats to the cheering crowds.
