What to Do in the Gaume & Belgian Luxembourg? Weekend Highlights, August 2026
A spectacular airshow, a night trail, a summer flea market and moving commemorations: our pick of the finest outings across the Gaume and the Belgian Ardennes this August 2026 weekend.
A late-summer weekend to savour in the Gaume and the Ardennes
Summer is slipping by, and with it those golden final days when Belgian Luxembourg turns especially generous. Between the rolling hills of the Gaume, the deep forests of Saint-Hubert and the lively streets of Arlon, the agenda for this weekend of 22 and 23 August 2026 brims with tempting invitations. Here is our selection, crafted for travellers seeking the authentic.
Look to the skies in Saint-Hubert
There is no missing the Saint-Hub'Airshow, a breathtaking aerial gathering that will have young and old gazing upward. A suspended moment of roaring engines and acrobatic figures, right in the heart of the legendary Ardennes forest.
For those craving a challenge, the St Hubertus Trail offers routes for every level, from the free 8 km family walk to a demanding 24 km course. With evening starts, you'll run beneath the last glow of dusk.
Arlon in festive mood
Over in Arlon, Family Day promises a warm-hearted day to share as a tribe before the new school term. And to ease into the evening, the Aperitif concert « Midnight Train » offers the perfect musical interlude, glass in hand.
Memory and leisurely wandering in the Gaume
In Virton, the August 1914 Commemorations movingly mark the 112th anniversary of the Great War battles — a Franco-Belgian moment of remembrance. The following day brings lightness with the Virton Summer Flea Market, where bargain-hunters and the curious will unearth quirky treasures and local gems.
Whether you love thrills, music or old stones, the Gaume has plenty to fulfil your desires. And what could be sweeter than returning, as evening falls, to the calm of a characterful home nestled in the greenery? Our Gîtes-Gaume await you, to turn this weekend into an escape to remember.
