The City of Luxembourg (Ville de Luxembourg - VdL) has unveiled its "Kanner in the City" children's summer event, which is taking place in the capital on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 August 2025.
The CAPEL educational and leisure activities centre of the VdL childcare department (Service Foyers Scolaires) is organising this event as part of the children's activities and leisure programme "Aktioun Bambësch" which was created in 1973.
This year, the "Kanner in the City" event is based around the theme “The 5 Elements - fire, water, earth, metal, wood” and will feature water games, clay and earth workshops, woodworking activities, recycling workshops and more. The organiser invites children aged four to twelve, along with their parents, to enjoy themselves by taking part in games and workshops and to discover various “Spielmobile” (mobile toy libraries) from across Europe.
The VdL noted that it organises fun activities for families and children throughout the year, for example "Kanner in the City", "Kannerparade", "Winterkids" and the "Spillfest op der Kinnekswiss". Such events form part of the approach to pedagogy through play promoted by CAPEL and encourage the participation of adults and children in games that respect culture, creativity and spontaneity.
"Kanner in the City" will take place in the following locations on Friday 1 August 2025, from 14:30 to 17:30: Place d’Armes, Place Guillaume II, Square Jan Palach, Place des Capucins and Place du Puits-Rouge. The festivities will continue on Saturday 2 August 2025, from 14:30 to 18:30 in Place d’Armes, Place Guillaume II and Square Jan Palach.
Participation is free-of-charge.
