An overview of public holidays in Luxembourg
There are 13 official Luxembourg bank holidays throughout the year. Also, there are other festivities around the country which are unofficial holidays, such as Carnival Monday, Kermesse, and the Annual Summer Fair.
When local public holidays fall on a Thursday or Tuesday, many employees will take the preceding or following day off to enjoy a long weekend. Observances that fall on a Sunday are usually celebrated on the following Monday. More importantly, if a public holiday falls on a weekend, employers must, by law, grant employees a compensatory day off within three months.
The public holidays are great for exploring Luxembourg’s festivals and sampling local food.
