Annually from late February to early March, the Luxembourg City Film Festival is held here. More than a hundred feature films and documentaries are on the table of the jury, and the best of them are shown on the screens of the capital. For many actors and directors, participation in this event becomes a ticket for other international film festivals. These days you can also visit various master classes, presentations, and debates. On the fourth Sunday of the fast, the Bratzelsonndeg festival takes place. On this day the boys present their girlfriends or objects of interest a pretzel. If the girl is in love with the boy, she can hint about her feelings on Easter Sunday giving him a chocolate egg filled with sweets. If the presented pretzel was small, then the egg would be very modest in size. This amusement is so popular with Luxembourgers that even after the wedding they continue this exchange. On May 28, the Night Marathon takes place in Luxembourg. The athletes start their race at 7 p.m. and have the opportunity to run various distances - 42km, 21km, 4.2 km and 1 km.
The most popular, important and honored holiday for all the country is held on June 23 - the Grand Duke's birthday. Various cool entertainments like fairs, open-air concerts can be enjoyed here. Moreover, in the line of the Grand Ducal Palace there is a torchlight procession, and in the evening you can admire the salute. In the second weekend of August, the city hosts a festival of street art and pantomime "Street(art)animation". These days streets are filled with street musicians, acrobats and other artists who want to share their creativity and joy with you. Laughter and fun are guaranteed to you. And in less than a week, there starts a new holiday - Schueberfouer, which literally translates as "a march of sheep." On the day of the march, peasants, dressed in the best clothes, lead the colored sheep down the streets, brought for this occasion from the villages. The festival lasts three weeks and precedes the Fête du Raisin et du Vin wine festival, which takes place on the second weekend of September.
