Events calendar Luxembourg-Ville

Pôle Position invites us every end of the year in the premises of the Luxembourg fair to attend the largest motor sports exhibition in the Grand Duchy. An event that closes the motor year and the motor sports season. The 35,000 or so visitors who flock to this weekend can satisfy their curiosity or passion for cars, two-wheelers or tuning (Top Tuning Show) in a festive atmosphere. Various events and themed exhibitions are also being organised.

The World MeYouZik world music festival, organised by the Luxembourg City Tourist Office (LCTO), takes place in the open air in the centre of Luxembourg City. It is unique in its kind and offers concerts on four stages: Place GuillaumepII, Place de la Constitution, Rue du Saint-Esprit and Place d'Armes. The festival is also home to the MeYouVillage, located on Place de Clairefontaine, which brings together Luxembourg associations and NGOs. Their aim: to make people discover crafts and gastronomy from elsewhere, as well as their ongoing humanitarian projects.

Launched in 1982 in France by Jack Lang, then Minister of Culture, the Fête de la Musique is today the first emblematic event in Europe. This event takes the form of a festival open to all, both amateur and professional musicians, promoting the diversity of genres, styles and musical crossbreeding. It is aimed at all audiences, of all ages and all social conditions. In Luxembourg, it takes place all over the country, not only on 21 June, but also the days before.

Since 2006, more than 15,000 runners have taken the start of the various ING Night Marahton events every year, starting at 7pm: marathon (42 km), half-marathon (21 km), team race or for lovers of sports on wheels. Even the children are in the game, with the mini-marathon (4.2 km) open to the over-10s. This event, which takes participants through the four corners of Luxembourg City, is one of the few night marathons in the world.

Organised by the Comité de liaison des associations d'étrangers (CLAE), this festival, the first of which dates back to 1983, is accompanied by the Salon du livre et des cultures du Luxembourg and, since 2013, by ARTmanif, Rencontre des cultures et des arts contemporains. Associative stands, literary meetings, debates, gastronomy, children's entertainment, songs and dances of the world punctuate this weekend, which contributes to the construction of a new citizenship in Luxembourg.

It's one of the most eagerly awaited musical events for the thousands of jazz and blues aficionados! Every year in Luxembourg City, the districts of Grund, Clausen and Pfaffenthal are transformed into an open-air festival. Dozens of concerts take place in cafés, clubs, restaurants and public squares. Stages are also set up at the foot of the ramparts of the former fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site. An event organised by the City of Luxembourg, together with the Luxembourg City Tourist Office and the Blues Club Lëtzebuerg.

In July or August, the municipal film library organizes the screening of great cinema classics during ten days at 9:30 pm (or at nightfall). In the heart of the city center, the square in front of the Grand Ducal Palace hosts a giant screen in front of which no less than 500 spectators can be seated. Varied, entertaining and for all audiences, the program is composed of classic films as well as cult feature films and family films. Young and old alike will find something to enjoy during these star-studded evenings.
