The Ville de Luxembourg (VdL) has announced the 190th edition of its annual traditional market "Éimaischen", to take place on Easter Monday, 17 April 2017, from 8:00 to 18:00 in the Old Town.
As every year, the Easter festivities announce the arrival of the traditional "Éimaischen" craft market with its famous "Peckvillercher". This year’s festivities will be held in the historic streets of the old town, around the Grand-Ducal Palace, and along Grand-Rue until the intersection with Rue des Capucins.
The day will be animated by different folk groups which will propose animations of song, dance and music: Uucht–La Veillée, La Ronde Beetebuerg, Vallée des Sept Châteaux (9:30–10:00 and 10:20–10:50); De Kegelaar van Wilryck; Lidderuucht Lëtzebuerg (11:00); CITYBRASSBAND (15:00).
Moreover, until 14 April inclusive, the non-profit association Groupe Animation Gare will once again organise its Easter market "De Lapouer op der Gare" in the Place de Paris. Every day from 10:30 to 18:00, Groupe Animation Gare will distribute colourful eggs to passers-by and sell Easter items (Easter eggs, decorations, etc.), the proceeds of which will go partly to charity.
Finally, during the Easter holidays, from 9 to 23 April 23 inclusive, a children's carousel will be installed at "Roude Pëtz" in the Grand-Rue.
