The European Parliament Liaison Office in Luxembourg has announced its programme for Europe Day.
On Saturday 9 May 2026, from 10:00 to 18:00, members of the public are invited to celebrate Europe Day at the Europa Experience visitor centre and the Konrad Adenauer building in Luxembourg-Kirchberg (17 Avenue John F.
