Fireworks and firecrackers have become a staple in New Year's Eve celebrations. However, most municipalities in Luxembourg prohibit the use of fireworks unless you are granted a formal authorisation to do so.
Most municipalities prohibit the use of fireworks, firecrackers or other explosives due to personal safety concerns, to protect the environment or to safeguard animal welfare.
RTL has asked each municipality whether they allow fireworks this New Year's Eve. The map below (in Luxembourgish, but red means banned, green means not banned but with restrictions, and grey is no info) shows what each municipality had to say:
