FÊTE DU GENÊT (GEENZEFEST)

The Festival of the Broom(Gënzefest or Geenzefest in the local dialect) is one of the most important folklore events in the Grand Duchy. This festival, which was founded in 1949, honors the yellow flowering shrub and is therefore organized during the season when the hills of the Oesling are in their golden dress. The houses of the city are then decorated with the beautiful shrubs, while floats parade through the streets, forming the traditional parade.
