If you’ve been seeing lots of crosses and other large wooden structures throughout the Grand Duchy, don’t worry: they’re part of the Buergbrennen celebrations. This tradition symbolises the burning-away of winter as local communities come together to light some rather striking bonfires.
While normally taking place on the first Sunday after Carnival, a few local bonfires will also be lit on Saturday for organisational purposes. You can find our tentative schedule here, but we still advise you to check an official source in your local municipality.

Josh Safdie’s ping-pong epic has earned nine nominations for the 2026 Oscars, including best film and best actor (making Timothée Chalamet the youngest actor to receive a third nomination in the category). The highly talked-about film premiered this Wednesday in Luxembourg.
Set in 1950s New York, a driven table tennis hustler named Marty Mauser (Chalamet) stops at nothing to rise from underground clubs to international stardom. His relentless, often unethical, pursuit of fame threatens to burn every bridge in his life, forcing him to navigate dangerous, chaotic consequences.

One of the most influential voices in British pop music since the 80s, Morrissey takes his latest tour to the Grand Duchy, carrying a legacy of more than 40 years of hits. After revolutionising Britain’s musical landscape with The Smiths, the oft-controversial frontman went on to have an impressive solo career, and brings us his repertoire of iconic songs of longing, alienation, heartbreak, but also evocatively hopeful and darkly humorous.
Doors open at 7pm, with Morrissey expected to take the stage at 8.40pm. Limited tickets are still available.

Designed to be open to everyone, regardless of age or cultural background, these meetups create a space to connect, learn from one another, and explore knitting alongside art and culture. They are a chance to build friendships, practise the country’s languages, and work on shared creative projects.
From seasoned knitters to complete beginners in knitting or crochet, all are welcome to join these convivial sessions. The event is free, subject to availability – but please note that the meetups are not knitting classes (although Mamie et Moi does provide separate lessons).
