1. Get your ceramic whistling bird at the traditional Emaischen market

What: Traditional Easter Monday
Where: City centre and in village of Nospelt
When: Monday, 1 April, all day - FREE - more info here

Easter Monday is known to draw Luxembourg’s pottery enthusiasts to the traditional ‘Emaischen’ markets in Nospelt and the capital. Every year on Easter Monday, potters from all around the country come to these markets to sell their traditional ‘Péckvillecher’ for the Emaischen. The Péckvillercher are little earthenware whistles shaped like birds, traditionally exchanged between lovers and now shared more generally.

Insider note: While the birds come in all colours, shapes and sizes, some of the birds that are sold are unique to that year’s edition. Collectors show up early in the morning to grab the very special ones!

2. See E.T. with live orchestra at the Philharmonie

The Philharmonie is finishing off the pre-Easter season with a bang: A special screening of Steven Spielberg’s E.T. with live music provided by the Luxembourg Philharmonic. Childhood favourite for some, timeless tale to (re)discover for others with John Williams’ iconic soundtrack played live. E.T. is more than just a family-friendly sci-fi blockbuster, it is also a tale about the essential topics like empathy, friendship and belonging.

3. Go for Easter egg (and bird whistle) hunt in the City

What: Find little treats on a two-hour tour!
Where: Starting point at Place Guillaume II
When: Saturday, 30 March at various times - info & tickets

Kids between the ages of 4-12 are invited to a special Easter egg hunt organised by the Luxembourg City Tourist Office, where along a 2-hour guided tour, participants will be searching for hidden eggs, bird whistles and other small animals. This promises to be really fun and the tours take place in various languages, including English.

4. Draw on MUDAM’s white walls (yes, on purpose!)

When: Saturday, 30 March and Sunday, 31 March - more info here

Join them in the creation of a unique museum experience. Everyone is welcomed to participate in adorning the white walls of Mudam Studio with their illustrations, writings, and concepts.

5. See Bottle Rocket

When: Monday, 1 April at 6.30pm - info & tickets

Anthony, Dignan and Bob are three friends who are fed up with life and want to get out of their hopeless situations. They decide to partake in a robbery and become rich. A delightful crime comedy by Wes Anderson.
