Films are shown in Italian with French subtitles unless stated otherwise. More than 250 screenings of 70 films are planned in six screening venues across four towns; the programme goes online on 14 October, and single tickets and a festival pass are sold by the organisers. My take: Twenty minutes from Esch-sur-Alzette and one of the few festivals in the region where you can see Italian films that never get a Luxembourg release. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-10-24-ruin-echoes/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-10-24-ruin-echoes/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2026-10-24 · Konschthal Esch, Esch-sur-Alzette · Thematic contemporary art exhibition at Konschthal Esch examining the ruin as a material, symbolic and political site.

The first edition runs over four days at the main house and at the Alte Feuerwache, co-produced with Kulturgut Ost and Sektor Heimat. Ticketed; the theatre's own pages carry the programme in German and French. My take: The stated aim is to drop the line between 'high' and 'alternative' culture, which is an unusual thing for a state theatre to try. Worth a look precisely because it is edition one. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-10-29-trierer-unterwelten-festival-2026/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-10-29-trierer-unterwelten-festival-2026/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2026-10-29 · Cellars, catacombs and crypts across Trier, Germany · Three weeks of theatre, music, guided tours, readings, film and food staged underground in Trier, in cellars, catacombs, tunnels, souterrains, excavations and crypts, plus a separate children's programme.

Museum admission applies; the site also lists talks around the exhibition, including a behind-the-scenes talk by the curator and the head of scenography on 22 October in the auditorium, before the opening. My take: A five-month run means you can slot it into any Metz trip, and Galerie 2 is the good one for painting. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-10-31-saturday-flea-market-at-messepark-trier-31-october-gero-s-flohmarkt/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-10-31-saturday-flea-market-at-messepark-trier-31-october-gero-s-flohmarkt/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2026-10-31 · Messepark, In den Moselauen 3, Trier, Germany · Gero's Flohmarkt returns to Trier's Messepark on Saturday 31 October 2026, from 7:00 to 15:00, for what the venue calls the biggest flea market in the region.

The club's published 2026/2027 calendar lists it as a home fixture against Chambray Touraine. Tickets are sold by the club, so you need to be in Metz. My take: Metz is the most successful women's handball club in France and Les Arènes is roughly an hour from Luxembourg City, which makes a weeknight league game an easy outing. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-05-salon-de-l-entrepreneuriat-de-charleroi-2026/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-05-salon-de-l-entrepreneuriat-de-charleroi-2026/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Startup 2026-11-05 · Espace Meeting Européen, Charleroi · Entrepreneurship fair gathering over 50 exhibitors and more than 15 speakers around business creation and growth in Wallonia, with conferences and panels freely accessible during the day.

Tickets through the Metz opera box office. My take: The Arsenal's acoustics suit a reduced operetta better than the old house did, and it is one hour door to door from Luxembourg City. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-06-caravan-palace/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-06-caravan-palace/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2026-11-06 · Rockhal Club, Esch-sur-Alzette · French electro-jazz band Caravan Palace play the Rockhal Club, mixing brass and jazz guitar with analogue synths and club beats.

Entries are online only and winter registration opened on 1 June, so sign up before you travel. My take: November in the Fagnes means mud, fog and a genuinely technical course.

Sébastien Rouland conducts the Saarländisches Staatsorchester, with Jessica Muirhead as Luisa and Taejun Sun as Rodolfo. Tickets and subscriptions go through the theatre's own shop. My take: Saarbrücken is the nearest full opera house to Luxembourg after the Grand Théâtre, and the mid-week repeats are usually easy to get into. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-07-vanessa-paradis/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-07-vanessa-paradis/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2026-11-07 · Rockhal Main Hall, 5 av. du Rock'N'Roll, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg · Vanessa Paradis at the Rockhal Main Hall on 7 November 2026, doors at 19:00 and the set starting at 21:00.

A week later, on Sunday 15 November, Metz play the return game away at Odense in group phase game 8.

My take: For anyone who has to justify a Copilot licence line to a CFO, this is the session that matters more than the demos.

This one is on site only: Google's event page marks it OfflineEventAttendanceMode and there is no stream, so you drive to Charleroi, about two hours from Luxembourg City. The organisers' ticketing page lists the programme from 09:00 to 16:30. Tickets are paid on the organisers' own site, 50 euros standard, 10 euros for students with a card checked at the door, and a free shuttle leaves Charleroi-Central at 08:25.

The city describes Christmas markets on several sites across town, together with concerts, exhibitions, shows and activities for children. In 2026 the Ville de Luxembourg lists the Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmaart on Place d'Armes, the Wantermaart on Place de la Constitution (Gëlle Fra), the Niklosmaart on Place de Paris and the Wanterpark ice rink on the Kinnekswiss. Hours: Sunday to Thursday 11:00-21:00, Friday and Saturday 11:00-22:00; closed on 25 December; 11:00-18:00 on 24 and 31 December. The Winterkids Village on Place Guillaume II opens from 19 December 2026 to 3 January 2027. My take: Skip Place d'Armes on the first weekend: the Constitution market, if it returns this year, has the better view over the valley with a Glühwäin. Weeknights before 18:00 are the calm window. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-20-trier-liest-2026-two-days-of-reading-events/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-20-trier-liest-2026-two-days-of-reading-events/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2026-11-20 · City centre, Trier, Germany · The eighth edition of TRIER LIEST takes place on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November 2026.

Floating sleigh rides are listed as free. My take: Six weeks of opening makes this the longest-running Christmas market within easy reach, and the Sentier des Lanternes is the part worth queueing for. https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-20-luxembourg-art-week-2026/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2026-11-20-luxembourg-art-week-2026/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2026-11-20 · Glacis Square (Fouerplaatz), L-1628 Luxembourg City, Luxembourg · The 12th edition of Luxembourg's art fair, in a temporary hall on Glacis Square.

My take: A voice that works far better in a 700-capacity room than on record, and the Kufa is exactly that room. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-03-escape-the-internet/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-03-escape-the-internet/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-03-03 · Rockhal Club, Esch-sur-Alzette · Escape the Internet II is a touring meeting of four musicians who first built big followings online, now on stage as one show: Austrian guitarist Bernth, English fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes, bassist Charles Berthoud and Swedish guitarist Ola Englund of The Haunted and Feared.

Screenings spread across the city's cinemas plus side venues used in recent editions such as Cercle Cité, Casino Luxembourg and neimënster. Accreditation and the public programme open closer to the dates, and the line-up is announced in the new year. My take: The one cultural week that reliably brings international film people to Luxembourg, and the Q and A sessions are the real draw. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-04-rambert-it-s-a-sin/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-04-rambert-it-s-a-sin/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-03-04 · Grand Théâtre, Luxembourg City · British dance company Rambert presents It's a Sin, a work for 16 dancers inspired by the British television series of the same name, in the Grande Salle of the Grand Théâtre.

Two performances: Friday 5 March at 20:00 and Sunday 7 March at 15:00. Tickets through the Metz opera box office. My take: Two dates for a repertory staple means it will sell; the Sunday matinee is the realistic one if you are coming from Luxembourg. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-06-scheppe-siwen/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-06-scheppe-siwen/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-03-06 · Rockhal Club, Esch-sur-Alzette · Luxembourg folk-punk band Schëppe Siwen play the album release show for Bohemian Folk Circus at the Rockhal Club, promoted by Rocklab. The venue calls them one of Luxembourg's biggest live acts, with sold-out major venues, European dates and a symphonic orchestra collaboration behind them.

Saturday brings a night parade from 20:30 with more than 1,500 participants and 30 societies; Sunday is the big Blancs Moussis procession with 2,500 participants, 25 societies, five tonnes of confetti and fireworks. The parades are in the streets; a marquee and shuttle buses are organised separately. My take: The Blancs Moussis in their long-nosed white hoods have been doing this since the 16th century. It is the most genuinely strange folk event within two hours of Luxembourg. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-07-cavalcade-de-petange-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-07-cavalcade-de-petange-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-03-07 · Centre-ville, Petange · The 70th edition of the Cavalcade de Pétange, organised by KaGePe (Karneval Gemeng Peiteng).

One of Luxembourg's major carnival events alongside the cavalcades of Remich, Diekirch and Schifflange. Sunday 7 March 2027 is the most probable date: the organiser holds the parade on Mi-Carême Sunday (15 March in 2026) and, as read on 29 September 2026, announces its 70th edition for 2027 without a date.

Costumed groups, floats, music bands, confetti and local food stalls line the route along the Moselle riverfront. Sunday 7 March 2027 is the most probable date: it is Laetare Sunday, as 15 March was in 2026. On 29 September 2026 the committee's website still showed the 2026 edition. In 2026 the parade set off at 14:30 from the route de Stadtbredimus (Wueswee junction) and reached the minigolf at about 16:30, according to the committee's participation rules.

Exhibiting costs 4,000 euros per company, or 1,500 euros for startups under five years old. You need to travel to Lille, and interest is registered through the Chamber of Commerce's form. My take: Forum InCyber is the closest thing continental Europe has to a cyber industry marketplace, and Lille is a manageable trip from Luxembourg. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-09-nexus-luxembourg-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-09-nexus-luxembourg-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-03-09 · Luxexpo The Box, 10 Circuit de la Foire Internationale, Luxembourg-Kirchberg · Nexus Luxembourg 2027 is a two-day AI and technology summit on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 March 2027 at Luxexpo The Box in Luxembourg-Kirchberg, under the theme Building AI, Sovereignty & Growth for Europe.

The date is published on the organiser's own registration platform, where entries are handled and where you can ask to be told when they open. You need to register, and places at these Ardennes trails usually go quickly. My take: The 2026 edition also ran a pairs adventure race (kayak, mountain bike, trail, run and bike) the day after, so check whether that returns in 2027. Note the event's own trailrun.be page still shows the 2026 edition, so the date here comes from the entry platform. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-20-relais-pour-la-vie-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-20-relais-pour-la-vie-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-03-20 · Coque, 2 rue Léon Hengen, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg (also online) · Fondation Cancer's 24 hour relay at the Coque, where teams keep at least one runner or walker on the track from Saturday evening to Sunday evening.

It is built around pottery and the Péckvillercher, bird-shaped clay whistles sold only at this market, whose design changes every year. It spills through Marché-aux-Poissons, rue du Marché-aux-Herbes, rue de l'Eau and the surrounding lanes, with folk music and food stalls. Collectors queue from dawn, so come early if you want a whistle. My take: Documented since at least 1827 and still genuinely local rather than staged for visitors. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-30-ibrahim-maalouf/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-03-30-ibrahim-maalouf/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-03-30 · Rockhal Main Hall, Esch-sur-Alzette · Jazz musician and composer Ibrahim Maalouf headlines the Rockhal Main Hall.

As read on 13 October 2026, the organisers' site gives these dates as a save-the-date and no programme or motto yet. For reference, the 2026 edition ran for ten days, from 17 to 26 April, under the motto Unbegreiflich: Ich hoffe, with services and music in the cathedral, about 800 contributors and 120 volunteers in the visitor service, and opened with a pontifical mass. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-10-epic-trail-baraque-de-fraiture-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-10-epic-trail-baraque-de-fraiture-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-04-10 · Baraque de Fraiture, Belgian Ardennes, Belgium · Second edition of a trail that starts at 652 metres on the Baraque de Fraiture, one of the highest points in the Belgian Ardennes, with distances from the Epic 10 up to the Epic 100. The date is published on the organiser's entry platform, which lists all six distances with member and non member prices, from 30 euros for members and 37.50 euros for non members on the Epic 10; entries for non members open on 18 September 2026. Registration is compulsory. My take: If April 2027 is on your plan, set a reminder for 18 September, when entries open to non members. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-14-angel-investing-made-accessible-understanding-luxembourg-investor-incentives-and-tax-credit/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-14-angel-investing-made-accessible-understanding-luxembourg-investor-incentives-and-tax-credit/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Startup 2027-04-14 · Luxembourg (venue to be announced) · Panel on Luxembourg's new business angel tax credit and what it changes for individuals who want to back startups, with experienced angels explaining how they use it. The evening runs 18:30 to 21:30 in English, opening with a welcome cocktail and closing with a networking one. Attendance is restricted and screened, and registration opens three months ahead; the venue has not been announced yet. My take: The tax credit is the single biggest change to Luxembourg early-stage financing in years and it is still poorly understood. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-14-nora/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-14-nora/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-04-14 · Escher Theater, 122 rue de l'Alzette, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg · Ibsen's Nora played as a dark comedy about bourgeois life, five performances at the Escher Theater between 14 and 18 April 2027. It is performed in German. Start times differ by date: 20:00 on 14, 16 and 17 April, 18:00 on 15 April and 17:00 on the Sunday, and the Sunday show offers audio description. My take: A run of five dates means you can actually get a seat, which is not true of every Escher Theater production. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-17-octave-and-maertchen-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-17-octave-and-maertchen-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-04-17 · Notre-Dame Cathedral and Place Guillaume II (Knuedler), Luxembourg City, Luxembourg · Luxembourg's two-week Marian pilgrimage and the fair that grew around it, from 17 April to 2 May 2027. Pilgrims from across the Greater Region come to the statue of the Virgin in the cathedral, while the Mäertchen on Place Guillaume II runs fairground rides, games and food stalls. You just show up; the pilgrimage side is organised by the church, the fair by the city. My take: A religious pilgrimage and a funfair sharing two weeks of the city centre tells you more about Luxembourg than most museums do. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-19-wiener-philharmoniker-lorenzo-viotti/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-19-wiener-philharmoniker-lorenzo-viotti/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-04-19 · Grand Auditorium, Philharmonie, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg · The Vienna Philharmonic under Lorenzo Viotti at the Philharmonie on 19 April 2027 at 19:30, in the Grand Auditorium. The programme is the Rosenkavalier suite by Richard Strauss and Korngold's Sinfonietta. Tickets are not on sale yet: general sale opens 4 February 2027 at 10:00, with an app presale one day earlier. My take: The Vienna Philharmonic sells out in Luxembourg, so the 4 February sale date is the thing to diarise, not the concert. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-21-la-fleche-wallonne-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-21-la-fleche-wallonne-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-04-21 · Huy, Wallonia, Belgium · UCI WorldTour one-day road classic that finishes on the steep Mur de Huy, set for 21 April 2027.

Tickets are not yet on sale: the Philharmonie states the sale begins on 4 February 2027 at 10:00. You can register on the event page to be alerted when booking opens. My take: Divisive as a pianist, undeniable as a draw. This is the Philharmonie recital most likely to be gone within the day. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-24-luxembourg-du-rire-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-24-luxembourg-du-rire-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-04-24 · Rockhal Main Hall, Esch-sur-Alzette · The eighth edition of Luxembourg du Rire, the French-language stand-up comedy show, takes place on Saturday 24 April 2027 in the Rockhal Main Hall in Esch-sur-Alzette, in a seated configuration. Doors open at 19:00. The first two artists announced are Roman Frayssinet and Marine Leonardi; the Rockhal says more names will be added in the coming weeks, so the full line-up is not published yet. According to the Rockhal, the previous seven editions sold out and have drawn more than 25,000 spectators since 2019. The show is produced by the Rockhal with Southside Production, and tickets are sold through the Rockhal website. The October 2026 date was the festival's first winter edition, an afternoon show; the April date remains its main evening edition. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-25-liege-bastogne-liege-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-25-liege-bastogne-liege-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-04-25 · Liège, Belgium · Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the one-day cycling race nicknamed La Doyenne and counted among the sport's Monuments, is scheduled for Sunday 25 April 2027 in Belgium. Its roll of winners goes back to 1892. The 2026 edition ran from Liège back to Liège over 259.5 km, with Tadej Pogačar taking the win ahead of Paul Seixas and Remco Evenepoel. My take: The oldest of cycling's Monuments, and it turns around at Bastogne, an hour from Luxembourg City. Stand on one of the Ardennes climbs rather than at the finish and you get the race twice. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-27-family-offices-asset-management-summit-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-27-family-offices-asset-management-summit-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Finance 2027-04-27 · Luxexpo The Box, 10 Circuit de la Foire Internationale, Luxembourg-Kirchberg, Luxembourg · Sixth edition of Hubfinance's full day summit for single and multi family offices, private banks and asset managers, running 08:15 to 19:00 at Luxexpo The Box with an opening keynote, a lunch cocktail and a networking cocktail, followed by the Luxembourg Wealth Management Awards 2027 and a gala dinner from 19:00 to 22:00. Hubfinance reserves it for its license members (subject to conditions), wealth managers and C level executives, with free access for eligible profiles and otherwise 750 euros excluding VAT early bird until 30 November, then 950 euros. Every registration is validated first, and you have to attend in person. My take: One of the few Luxembourg dates already locked for spring 2027, and the eligible profile route makes it cheap if you are on the buy side. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-28-tech-sovereignty-mapping-luxembourg-s-emerging-value-chain/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-28-tech-sovereignty-mapping-luxembourg-s-emerging-value-chain/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-04-28 · Luxembourg (venue to be announced) · Panel, run with LuxDefence, that starts from the data and compute infrastructure on Luxembourg soil and works outward to ask which technology layers the country must keep and where foreign dependence turns into risk. It promises to separate credible strengths from critical gaps rather than list ambitions. English, 18:30 to 21:30, in person, with the venue still to be announced and registration opening three months before. My take: Finally a sovereignty panel that begins with what physically exists here instead of a policy wish list. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-30-roc-d-ardenne-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-04-30-roc-d-ardenne-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-04-30 · Houffalize, Belgium · Mountain bike festival held over three days at Houffalize, billed by the organiser as the largest MTB festival in the Benelux.

From 2027 it is a round of the new ADAC 24h Nürburgring Series, and the circuit marks this date as confirmed rather than provisional. You need to be at the track: it is a ticketed race weekend. My take: Cheaper and far less crowded than the 24 hour weekend itself, with most of the same cars on track. The best value way to see the Nordschleife in race trim. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-02-maasmarathon-de-la-basse-meuse-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-02-maasmarathon-de-la-basse-meuse-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-05-02 · Visé, Belgium · A flat cross-border road marathon along the Meuse, based in Visé in the province of Liège, set for Sunday 2 May 2027.

The date is on the organiser's entry platform, which handles registration on a first come, first served basis. You must register in advance; the reward at the finish is a cold trappist. My take: Furthest west of the Wallonia trails worth the drive from Luxembourg, and the finish a kilometre from the abbey, with a cold trappist waiting, is the reason people go back. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-08-ing-night-marathon-luxembourg/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-08-ing-night-marathon-luxembourg/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-05-08 · Luxexpo The Box, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg · Luxembourg City's evening running event through the illuminated capital, with a full marathon, a half marathon, a team relay and a minimarathon.

The organisers have posted a save the date for 9 May 2027; entries had not opened at the time of checking, so watch the site. This is an in person race with a start and finish in the city. My take: Flat, fast and about two hours by car or train from Luxembourg, which makes it a realistic spring target race if the ING Night Marathon the day before is not your thing. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-10-space-resources-week-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-10-space-resources-week-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-05-10 · Luxembourg (venue to be announced) · Ninth edition of the reference gathering for the space resources community, organised by ESRIC with ESA, the Luxembourg Space Agency and LIST. The 2026 edition drew more than 520 participants and over 160 speakers. Only the dates are published so far, as a save-the-date; the venue and registration open later. My take: Space resources is the niche where Luxembourg genuinely convenes the world, and ESRIC has kept that going since 2018. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-10-eschtechweek-2027-citizen-3-0-building-the-cognitive-city/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-10-eschtechweek-2027-citizen-3-0-building-the-cognitive-city/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-05-10 · Various venues, Esch-sur-Alzette · Third edition of the citizen tech week organised by The Dots with the City of Esch-sur-Alzette, from Monday 10 to Saturday 15 May 2027, on the theme Citizen 3.0: Building the Cognitive City.

Tickets are not on sale yet: the Philharmonie says the sale begins on 4 March 2027 at 10:00, with an app-only presale one day earlier. In-person only. My take: Wang programmes her recitals late and plays them hard. Worth going in without checking the programme first. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-13-totalenergies-6-hours-of-spa-francorchamps-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-13-totalenergies-6-hours-of-spa-francorchamps-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-05-13 · Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium · A round of the FIA World Endurance Championship at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, held from 13 to 15 May 2027. The six-hour race brings together Hypercar and LMGT3 machinery and traditionally serves as a run-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is a spectator event, with tickets sold by the championship and the circuit rather than a participation race. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-13-festival-perspectives-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-13-festival-perspectives-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-05-13 · Saarbrücken, Germany · The only German-French cultural festival, back from 13 to 22 May 2027 for its 49th edition.

The 2027 programme has not been published yet. My take: A festival that plays on both sides of the border, in Saarbrücken and in the Moselle, and surtitles each show in the neighbour's language: the closest thing the Greater Region has to a shared stage. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-13-mathematical-careers-day-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-13-mathematical-careers-day-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Networking 2027-05-13 · Pavillon SKIP, 6 av. des Hauts-Fourneaux, Esch-Belval · An evening for maths students and the maths-curious: University of Luxembourg alumni now working in finance, data and research talk about where mathematics leads in Luxembourg and beyond, 17:00-20:00.

Seats are listed from 68 to 152 euros. General sale opens 4 March 2027 at 10:00, with an app presale the day before. My take: Mutter directing from the violin rather than standing in front of a big orchestra is the more interesting version of her. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-15-grand-trail-des-lacs-et-chateaux-summer-edition-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-15-grand-trail-des-lacs-et-chateaux-summer-edition-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-05-15 · Village d'Ovifat, Waimes, Belgium · The summer half of the Hautes Fagnes trail weekend, again starting from the Ovifat ski slope. The programme runs from a kids' GT2 up through the GT11, GT21, GT42, GT85 and the GT160, which the organisers list as a Western States qualifier, plus a Tri+ format. Entries are online only and summer registration opens on 1 December. My take: The GT160 is one of the few Western States qualifiers within driving distance of Luxembourg, which is why the long distances go early. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-16-beer-lovers-marathon-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-16-beer-lovers-marathon-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-05-16 · Palais des Congrès, Liège, Belgium · Costumed road marathon through Liège with 16 aid stations, each serving water, food and one Belgian speciality beer. Entry is 110 EUR until 30 September 2026, 120 EUR until 31 January 2027 and 150 EUR from 1 February 2027, with a pasta party on the Saturday evening. My take: A marathon with a beer at every one of sixteen aid stations, in costume. Nobody runs this for a time, and that is precisely why people fly in for it. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-19-focus-on-private-wealth-2027-luxembourg-for-finance/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-19-focus-on-private-wealth-2027-luxembourg-for-finance/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Finance 2027-05-19 · Online · Luxembourg for Finance, the agency for the development of the Luxembourg financial centre, has scheduled a one hour digital session called Focus on Private Wealth on Wednesday 19 May 2027, from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST. It belongs to the agency's series of online Focus events on single parts of the financial centre.

The 2027 theme is AI in digital health, from augmented functionality to real-world adoption: where AI adds measurable value and what it takes to bring AI-enabled tools into routine care. It is aimed at entrepreneurs, researchers, health professionals, policymakers and investors. The 2026 edition gathered more than 300 participants from over 20 countries. Registration is open on the event site. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-21-ecis-2027-bridging-digital-borders/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-21-ecis-2027-bridging-digital-borders/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-05-21 · European Convention Center Luxembourg (ECCL), Luxembourg-Kirchberg · The 35th European Conference on Information Systems comes to Luxembourg, hosted by the University of Luxembourg's SnT centre, with the doctoral consortium on 21 to 23 May and the main conference on 24 to 26 May. It is the flagship conference of the Association for Information Systems across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. You need to be at the ECCL in Kirchberg; papers and workshop proposals are due 30 October 2026. My take: A six-day international academic conference of this rank landing in Kirchberg is a real coup for SnT, and the October paper deadline is the part locals should not miss. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-26-asia-tech-x-singapore-atxsg-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-26-asia-tech-x-singapore-atxsg-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-05-26 · Singapore EXPO & Capella, Singapore · Singapore's flagship technology event, held from 26 to 28 May 2027 across Singapore EXPO (ATxEnterprise) and Capella Singapore (the ATxSummit, an invitation-only plenary on AI and governance). A broad showcase of the region's technology and policy agenda. In-person and paid/professional; the daily programme times are not published in advance. My take: The Asian counterweight to the big European tech shows, and increasingly where AI governance gets debated. A 2027 date to keep on the radar if Asia is on your map. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-27-adac-ravenol-24h-nurburgring-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-27-adac-ravenol-24h-nurburgring-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-05-27 · Nürburgring, Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany · Four days in the Green Hell and the headline race of the new ADAC 24h Nürburgring Series, run on the combined Grand Prix and Nordschleife layout. The circuit marks this date as confirmed. The organisers say the series will be followed through a livestream, live timing and a race ticker on the 24h website, so you can watch from home; trackside and camping access needs a ticket. My take: Still the best motorsport weekend in the Grande Région and about two hours from Luxembourg City. Book accommodation absurdly early or plan on camping. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-27-dido-and-neas-didon-et-enee-henry-purcell/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-05-27-dido-and-neas-didon-et-enee-henry-purcell/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-05-27 · Basilique Saint-Vincent, Metz, France · Purcell's only true opera, staged inside the Basilique Saint-Vincent in Metz. Three late performances, 27, 28 and 29 May 2027, all at 21:00. Tickets through the Metz opera box office. My take: A 9pm start in a 13th-century basilica is the kind of thing you plan a Metz evening around. Three dates only. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-05-trail-godefroy-de-bouillon-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-05-trail-godefroy-de-bouillon-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-06-05 · Bouillon, Belgium · Trail race in the Semois valley with start and finish on the esplanade below Bouillon Castle. Five distances run through the Ardennes forests and along the Semois meanders: 20, 35, 50, 75 and 100 km. The 2027 edition is set for 5 June, with entries handled through Passion For Sports. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-05-fausts-verdammnis-la-damnation-de-faust-hector-berlioz/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-05-fausts-verdammnis-la-damnation-de-faust-hector-berlioz/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-06-05 · Saarländisches Staatstheater (Großes Haus), Saarbrücken, Germany · Berlioz's dramatic legend closes the Saarbrücken music theatre season in the Großes Haus, opening 5 June 2027 at 19:30 with further dates on 11, 16 and 25 June and a 27 June matinee at 14:30. The theatre bills it as one of the rare staged productions of the work. Pierre-Emmanuel Rousseau directs and designs the sets and costumes, and music director Sébastien Rouland conducts. Sung in French with German and French surtitles, to a libretto after Goethe's Faust in Gérard de Nerval's translation. Tickets through the theatre's own shop. My take: Berlioz on this scale needs a big chorus and a big pit, which is exactly what Saarbrücken has and what most of the region does not. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-11-les-francofolies-esch-alzette-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-11-les-francofolies-esch-alzette-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-06-11 · Parc du Gaalgebierg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg · Luxembourg's biggest French-language music festival returns to the Gaalgebierg park in Esch for three days, 11 to 13 June 2027. The festival site links a 2027 ticket shop, but it currently shows no tickets on sale, and the 2027 line-up has not been announced yet. You need a ticket and you need to be there. My take: The only Luxembourg festival at real festival scale, and the hilltop park site is a large part of why it works. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-12-interstellar-cine-concert/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-12-interstellar-cine-concert/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-06-12 · Philharmonie, Luxembourg City · The Luxembourg Philharmonic, conducted by Matt Dunkley with organist Roger Sayer, performs Hans Zimmer's score live to a screening of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.

Companies register their interest through an online form, and the Chamber says pavilion details will be published on the page later. The fair runs four days in Paris, so travel is required. My take: Worth flagging early because pavilion places at VivaTech are usually gone long before the fair. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-18-turandot-giacomo-puccini-new-orw-finale/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-18-turandot-giacomo-puccini-new-orw-finale/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-06-18 · Opéra Royal de Wallonie, Liège, Belgium · Puccini died before finishing Turandot, and for this production the Liège opera commissioned an entirely new final scene from its composer in residence, Andrea Battistoni. Six performances between 18 and 29 June 2027, first night Friday at 20:00, one Sunday matinee at 15:00. Sung in Italian, about 2h30. Tickets required. My take: A commissioned alternative ending to Turandot is a real event, not marketing. Even people who know the score will not have heard this last scene. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-19-fete-de-la-musique-dudelange-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-19-fete-de-la-musique-dudelange-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-06-19 · Centre-ville, Dudelange, Luxembourg · Dudelange's edition of the Fête de la Musique takes over the town centre on 19 June 2027, organised by the opderschmelz cultural centre. The page states free entry, so no ticket and no registration. Stages are outdoors in the town centre. My take: A free town-centre music day run by a venue that actually programmes the rest of the year, which shows in the line-up. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-20-raid-des-hautes-fagnes-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-20-raid-des-hautes-fagnes-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-06-20 · Malmedy, Belgium · Mountain bike marathon starting from Malmedy and crossing the Hautes Fagnes, the third leg of the Belgian Ardennes Marathon Series. Three timed distances are offered: 65 km (1,900 m of climb), 90 km (2,500 m) and 115 km (3,000 m). The 27th edition is scheduled for 20 June 2027 and doubles as the Belgian XC Marathon Championship. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-21-voxxed-days-luxembourg-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-21-voxxed-days-luxembourg-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-06-21 · Casino 2000, rue Théodore Flammang, Mondorf-les-Bains · Tenth edition of the developer conference run by YaJUG, part of the Devoxx family, expecting 500 or more attendees over two days across five parallel rooms. Tracks span backend, cloud, programming languages, DevOps, architecture and AI, with roughly 70 talks. The site lists tickets from 249 euros, but its ticket button still leads to the 2026 ticketing, so 2027 sales are not open yet. The call for papers is open from early November to December 2026. My take: The only large developer-run conference actually held in Luxembourg, and the 10th edition is worth planning around. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-24-crowdstrike-24-hours-of-spa-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-24-crowdstrike-24-hours-of-spa-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-06-24 · Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium · Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 June 2027 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps: the 24 Hours of Spa, first held in 1924, is a round-the-clock race for GT3 cars that counts towards both the GT World Challenge Europe and the Intercontinental GT Challenge. The 2026 edition, run in June 2026, was won by the Lionspeed GP Porsche 911 GT3 R no. 80 of Ricardo Feller, Thomas Preining and Bastian Buus, which started from the pit lane after an engine change and finished 12.3 seconds ahead of the Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG no. 48 of Luca Stolz, Lucas Auer and Maro Engel, with the AF Corse Ferrari no. 51 of Alessio Rovera, Tommaso Mosca and Nicklas Nielsen third; it was Porsche's first overall win at Spa since 2020. The organiser sells general entrance tickets, with or without paddock access, and every ticket gives access to the open grandstands. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-24-tanztheater-wuppertal-pina-bausch-cafe-muller-das-fruhlingsopfer/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-24-tanztheater-wuppertal-pina-bausch-cafe-muller-das-fruhlingsopfer/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-06-24 · Grand Théâtre, Luxembourg City · The Wuppertal dance-theatre company performs Pina Bausch's Café Müller paired with Das Frühlingsopfer (The Rite of Spring) across four performances at the Grand Théâtre. The double bill lasts about 1 hour 45 minutes with an intermission. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-25-trierer-altstadtfest-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-25-trierer-altstadtfest-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-06-25 · Trier old town, between Porta Nigra and Viehmarkt, Trier, Germany · Trier's biggest street festival takes over the old town for the last weekend of June, with live music on five big stages and many smaller ones, from Schlager and rock to jazz and funk, plus wine, beer and food stalls. It draws tens of thousands. Run by the city of Trier with Trier Tourismus und Marketing. My take: Running since 1980 and the single easiest big German party to reach from Luxembourg, with expected road closures across the centre. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-26-losheimer-trailfest-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-26-losheimer-trailfest-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-06-26 · Losheim am See, Germany · Two-day trail-running festival in the Saar-Hunsrück uplands, the largest of its kind in Saarland. Courses run from 14 km with 355 m of climbing up to 100 km with 3,352 m, taking in 24 km, 51 km and 76 km options plus a 24 km walking category. My take: Losheim is about 45 minutes from Luxembourg City, which makes a 100 km ultra a surprisingly local proposition. The 14 km and the walking category keep it open to everyone else. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-29-scynergy-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-06-29-scynergy-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Tech 2027-06-29 · Luxembourg (venue to be announced) · SCynergy 2027, a two-day event on artificial intelligence, quantum computing and supercomputing, takes place in Luxembourg on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 June 2027.

Pre-registration is open on the site, which notes that the 2025 and 2026 editions were fully booked within a few weeks. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-01-les-ardentes-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-01-les-ardentes-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-07-01 · Liège, Belgium · Four days of rap, electro, hip-hop and pop on the Liège festival site. Under-16s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Early bird passes for 2027 are already sold out; the ticket shop currently lists an Early and an Early VIP rate, payable in instalments, and the festival announces further ticket drops. Camping is available. My take: The biggest rap festival within driving distance and it sells in waves, so watch the drops rather than waiting for the line-up. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-03-chouffe-trail-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-03-chouffe-trail-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-07-03 · Houffalize and Achouffe, Belgium · The Chouffe Trail celebrates its 10th edition on 3 and 4 July 2027 on trails between Houffalize and Achouffe. The organiser announces about ten distances over the two days, including a night trail and the Chouffe Challenge, a combined ranking over three races in one weekend in a short or long version. The longer routes pass the Achouffe brewery. Courses and the programme are still being prepared; registration opens on 20 December. My take: Bibs go fast on this one and the tenth edition will go faster. Registration opens in December, which is the date to actually put in your calendar. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-09-41-internationaler-shell-adac-truck-grand-prix-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-09-41-internationaler-shell-adac-truck-grand-prix-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-07-09 · Nürburgring, Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany · Racing trucks on the Grand Prix circuit plus a festival paddock, over three days from 9 to 11 July 2027. The circuit has posted a save the date for the 41st edition. The weekend combines motorsport, a music festival and a commercial vehicle show. Fans can get close to the teams, drivers and 1,000 hp trucks in the paddock and on the starting grid. The 40th anniversary edition drew 135,000 visitors. It is a ticketed event at the track, so you need to be in the Eifel. My take: Loud, cheap and much more family friendly than a car race weekend. One of the Nürburgring's best attended events and an easy day trip from Luxembourg. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-10-blues-express-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-10-blues-express-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-07-10 · Lasauvage and Fond-de-Gras, Differdange, Luxembourg · Blues festival across two former mining sites in the south of Luxembourg, on Saturday 10 July 2027. The organisers, the Ville de Differdange, bill it as free concerts at Lasauvage and Fond-de-Gras. The two sites sit on the heritage railway line, which is the whole idea behind the name. My take: Free blues in an industrial museum landscape. Easily the best-value music day in the Luxembourg summer. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-11-ironman-70-3-luxembourg-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-07-11-ironman-70-3-luxembourg-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-07-11 · Remich, Moselle, Luxembourg · Sunday 11 July 2027 in Remich on the Luxembourg Moselle: the middle-distance IRONMAN triathlon, with a 1.9 km swim, a 90 km bike and a 21.1 km run. On 18 October 2026 the official race page still lists special entries and relay places as available. The organiser presents it as one race across three countries: the swim in the Moselle starts from the Luxembourg bank and takes athletes to the German side of the river, the bike loop runs through Luxembourg and France, and the run follows the river bank through Remich.

Opening hours announced by the organiser: Friday 6 August 18:00 to 03:00, Saturday 7 August 15:00 to 03:00 and Sunday 8 August 15:00 to 01:00. The 2027 line-up is not announced yet. My take: Free entry, three nights by the lake, and the line-up only lands next year.

The 2027 date is published on the organiser's entry platform; entries had not opened at the time of checking. Registration is compulsory and the 2025 edition sold out with 2,200 runners. My take: The event's own trailrun.be page still advertises the 2026 edition and the platform's entry opening date looks like a placeholder, so confirm before you plan around it. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-15-leiffraweschdag-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-15-leiffraweschdag-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-08-15 · Klappegaass, Greiveldange · Greiveldange's Léiffrawëschdag, the Moselle village's Assumption Day tradition in which a bouquet of herbs, cereals and vegetables, the Wësch, is blessed in honour of the Virgin Mary, is listed by Visit Luxembourg for Sunday 15 August 2027.

In 2026 the day also brought a craft market and local wines and crémants. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-20-dtm-nurburgring-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-20-dtm-nurburgring-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-08-20 · Nürburgring, Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany · The Eifel round of the German touring car championship, two of the season's sixteen races, and the start of the decisive phase of the title fight. The circuit says all sixteen DTM races in 2027 will be shown live on free to air television on ProSieben, so you can follow it at no cost; advance ticket sales for the season open on 11 October. Grandstand and paddock access needs a ticket. My take: GT3 cars on the Grand Prix loop, a full support programme and open paddocks make this the most accessible big motorsport weekend near Luxembourg after the 24 hour race. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-20-schueberfouer-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-20-schueberfouer-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-08-20 · Place du Glacis, L-2520 Luxembourg City, Luxembourg · Luxembourg's big late-summer funfair runs on the Glacis from 20 August to 8 September 2027. Opening hours are 12:00 to 01:00, with catering stands from 11:00. No ticket for the fairground itself, you pay per ride and per stand. My take: Three weeks that reorganise the whole city's late-summer social calendar, fried fish and all. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-22-trail-d-orval-muno-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-08-22-trail-d-orval-muno-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-08-22 · Muno, Gaume, Belgium · A late August trail starting in Muno, in the Gaume, the far south of the Belgian province of Luxembourg, mixing trail running with trappist tasting near the Orval abbey. The 2027 date is published on the organiser's entry platform; entries had not opened at the time of checking. Registration is compulsory and members of the organiser's club get priority on start numbers. My take: The event's own page still shows the 2026 edition, so the date comes from the entry platform. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-09-11-butschebuerger-buergfest-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-09-11-butschebuerger-buergfest-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Culture 2027-09-11 · Rue de la Chapelle, Dudelange-Boudersberg · The Butschebuerger Buergfest, Dudelange's medieval festival on the Boudersberg, returns on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 September 2027, according to the organiser's list of upcoming dates.

The circuit's event page gives the date as 25 September 2027 and promises varied obstacles and team formats. You enter as an individual or a team and have to be there; it is not a spectator broadcast. My take: A first edition at a venue this big usually means a well organised course and a lot of corporate teams. Good option if you want an obstacle race without going to Germany's bigger cities. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-09-26-route-du-vin-semi-marathon-2027-remich/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-09-26-route-du-vin-semi-marathon-2027-remich/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Sport 2027-09-26 · Remich, Luxembourg (Moselle) · The next Route du Vin is announced for Sunday 26 September 2027 in Remich, on the Luxembourg Moselle.

My take: Only the date is out so far. If the 2026 format holds, the half marathon along the Saar is the one to aim for from Luxembourg. https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-10-21-lpea-insights-conference-2027/ https://sitraka.lu/events/2027-10-21-lpea-insights-conference-2027/ Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:13:20 GMT Finance 2027-10-21 · Luxembourg (venue to be announced) · LPEA Insights, the private equity and venture capital conference of the Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, has announced its 2027 edition for Thursday 21 October 2027, as a save-the-date on its official site.

According to the organiser, the 2026 edition at Luxexpo The Box in Kirchberg brought together more than 1,500 attendees, over 100 speakers, more than 250 limited partners and more than 300 general partners. My take: Save the date only for now. It is the largest private-capital gathering in the Luxembourg calendar, so the LP and GP meetings get booked early.
