On Monday, 2 September 2024, Luxembourg City will be celebrating its 95th Grande Braderie: this popular street market is held each year shortly before the beginning of the new school year, and is the perfect occasion to (re)discover the many businesses located in the city. Some 200 retailers display their wares on the streets of the Gare district and city centre. For this street market, local roads will be closed to vehicular traffic as far as possible in order to create large pedestrian zones. From 9:00 to 19:00, visitors can grab a bargain, try sweet and savoury treats from the many food stalls, and generally enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Entertainment for all ages

In Ville-Haute, you can try your luck at the "Wheel of Fortune" game set up at the Place d'Armes band stand: gifts worth over €7,000 will be offered by the town's retailers. Visitors can also win one of 336 "cups 2 go" created by the City. From 10:00 to 18:00, all manner of entertainment will be offered at Place de Paris (Gare district): Ludoland will set up construction and imitation games, as well as wooden and oversized games for the public to enjoy; Bricks4kidz will be hosting Lego workshops; and the non-profit organization I love Graffiti will be holding a graffiti workshop led by artist Thomas Iser, which everyone can take part in. Musical entertainment will also be provided throughout the day in the Gare and Ville Haute districts. The retro brass band "Ça gaze" will take to the streets of the Gare district (9:00–11:00) and Ville Haute (14:30–16:00), while DJ Urban will bring the beats in the Gare district from 11:00 to 19:00.

Sunday shopping and flea market on 1 September 2024

In the lead-up to the big day, the city's shops will already be offering Braderie bargains on Saturday, 31 August and Sunday, 1 September 2024.

The city's large open-air flea market (vide-grenier) – which takes place every first Sunday of the month from April to October – will be held on Avenue de la Gare from 10:00 to 17:00 on 1 September 2024.
