GënzefestTraditional Wiltz event celebrates glorious return after two-year absence
On Whit Monday, the traditional Gënzefest celebrating broom flowers returned to Wiltz after a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic.
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.
