Europe Day 2026 in Wiltz – Meeting, music and exchange

On Sunday, 10 May 2026, Europe Day will be celebrated in Wiltz. Across Europe, 9 May is recognised as a symbolic date for cooperation and unity within the European Union. In Wiltz, this idea is taken up one day later with an open programme for residents and visitors.

A day dedicated to Europe

Europe Day in Wiltz stands for exchange, diversity and shared experiences. Various local organisations contribute to the programme, creating a varied day for all ages. The aim is to make Europe tangible not only politically, but also in everyday life.

Visitors can expect a mix of information, encounters and entertainment. Music, cultural contributions and themed activities create a lively setting. The focus is not on a large spectacle, but on spending time together.

Activities for all ages

  • Creative workshops for children with the Musée PLOMM
  • Nature experiences with the Upper Sûre Nature Park – discover the beauty of our region!
  • Concerts & performances for the whole family
  • Celebrate 40 years of EU membership of Spain and Portugal – with surprises and festive moments!

Programme and atmosphere

Throughout the day, various musical performances and cultural activities take place. Information stands provide insights into European topics and projects. The event is open to the public and aimed at all age groups.

Wiltz provides the ideal setting: compact, open and easy to navigate. This creates a pleasant atmosphere that invites visitors to stay and explore.
