Luxembourg National Day

On the eve of this national holiday, Dudelange hosts a torchlight procession, and the castle at Wiltz hosts a fĂȘte in the courtyard. Fireworks, parades, special religious services, public concerts, and dancing comprise the elaborate celebration in the capital city of Luxembourg. On National Day, people assemble in the capital not only to celebrate their independence, but also to observe the official birthday of the Grand Duke. The people there identify strongly with their country and speak their own language, known as Luxembourgeois. Discuss
