Every summer, you can take an enchanting journey to celebrate the cultural splendor of Luxembourg right in the heart of Belgium, Wisconsin. Enjoy the country’s best traditions, flavors, and festivities as Luxembourg Fest descends upon this charming town – it’s a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t want to miss. Here’s why Luxembourg Fest is one of Wisconsin’s best cultural festivals.
Never been to Luxembourg? You don’t need a plane ticket to experience this place – just head to Belgium, Wisconsin, a little town with a rich Luxembourgish heritage – it was settled by immigrants from Luxembourg in the 1800s.
Every year, Luxembourg Fest pays homage to Luxembourg's rich history and customs. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of community and heritage preservation.
After the parade, Kënschtler Eck (Artist Corner) takes place. You can browse Luxembourg-themed vendors and make your own paper rose craft from recycled Luxembourgish books!
There’s also live music in the afternoon and activities for kids. There’s even a treipen eating contest. Never had treipen? It’s a traditional blood sausage. How many could you devour?
If you can peel yourself away from the live music, the community’s Roots and Leaves Museum and Dooley-Wagner Research Center are open, with free admission, during the event. The facility tells the immigration story of Luxembourg Americans, the Luxembourg American community, and the relationship between Luxembourg and the United States.
