On 5 August 2026, Luxembourg City hosts Summer in the City, a day of summer festivities in the open air. The programme includes concerts, street entertainment and food stalls scattered throughout the historic city centre.

This event transforms the squares and streets of downtown into spaces for relaxation and socialising. The atmosphere is family-friendly and laid-back, with programming that appeals to locals and visitors alike. Terraces fill up, music echoes between the historic façades.

From Belgian Gaume, allow around an hour's drive to Luxembourg. Park on the outskirts (P+R facilities) and take public transport into the centre. Bring a hat and water: early August sun can be intense on those cobbled streets.
