True to tradition, the 'Groeten Optoch' passes through the streets of Maastricht on Carnival Sunday. During the parade, also called Boonte Störm, a wide range of beautifully dressed people and beautiful floats pass by. Zienen Hoegen Hoeglöstegheid will precede the parade on top of the Prinsenwagen and upon arrival at the terminus he will take the parade.

At 12.11 pm the prince will enter the Vrijthof to the sounds of the Maastricht national anthem and 'Grameer', the patroness of the Mestreechter Vastelaovend, the Mooswief.
