SCHUEBERFOUER

The Schueberfouer is THE big funfair in Luxembourg where one appreciates this event, which is more than a simple funfair. The event beginning principally the 23rd august, the day before Saint Bartholomew’s day is a very old luxemburgish tradition. It already existed while the Luxemburgish nation didn’t exist. Contrary to lots of funfairs that have a religious origin, the Schueberfouer is a worldly event, based originary on the trading of products. Nowadays it has changed to become a huge amusement event. The Luxemburgish love the Schueberfouer because it reminds most of them of their childhood. So it is nearly an attempt to the Luxembourgers not to attend the Schueberfouer, to eat a « gebaackene Fesch » (something like fish and chips), do some rides or the bumper cars and to return home with some Schappnougat.
