Christmas is still a month away, but Luxembourg is already preparing for the second major holiday: National Day is still the first. For this reason, this week's schedule is quite festive.

Winterlight Festival

The official start is scheduled for November 24, this Friday. On that day, fairs, carousels, and other attractions will open in various parts of the city. Until January 7, you will be able to admire the city's decorations, festoons, and colorful figures, try skating on the outdoor ice rink, and simply enjoy happy moments.

We have already prepared for the festivities and have put together for you the most detailed schedule of all the fairs and key events of the festival!
