Festivals

Taking part in one of the various markets that are hosted in the squares and pedestrian zones throughout the year, or attending one of the many traditional festivals and folk fairs that Luxembourg is famous for, such as the Emaischen or the Schueberfouer, make visiting Luxembourg City worthwhile. The bric-a-brac shops and "car boot sales" transport you to the busy world of flea markets, much as the twice-weekly fairs at Place Guillaume II please connoisseurs of regional goods.

Not just youngsters anticipate the return of the Schueberfouer funfair in the summer. Throughout the year, there are also several additional village fairs and traditional fairs featuring delicious local and regional food and tons of family-friendly entertainment. Numerous music events take place all throughout Luxembourg, and the summertime Blues'n'Jazz Rallye is only one of them. It is the most famous music festival in Luxembourg and among the Luxembourg culture, customs, and etiquette. Art, science, and history are brought to life via occasions like Museum Night in October. There is much for sports enthusiasts as well, including the ING Night Marathon and other cycling or trail events for an athletic tour of the nation's capital.
