In 1948, Tony Mander, a photographer from Wiltz, organised the event for a first time. The motto of this year’s Gënzefest was ‘Giant Toys’, which lead to some creative dress-up ideas.

The focus of the celebratory event is the common broom, a yellow flower that grows in the north of the Grand Duchy.

Participants and visitors of the local parade were graced by fabulous weather on Sunday.

Ketty Scheer, a Wiltz resident, was crowned Queen of the 2022 Gënzefest edition.
