Schueberfouer 2026: Luxembourg City's Great Funfair

Welcome to the Schueberfouer 2026 in Luxembourg

From August 21 to September 9, 2026, the Champ du Glacis in the Limpertsberg district once again becomes Luxembourg's largest funfair. For about three weeks, this centuries old tradition, dating back to 1340, draws millions of visitors from Luxembourg and the wider Greater Region.

Highlights and Attractions at the Schueberfouer in Luxembourg

• More than 200 stands and rides spread across roughly four hectares, from major thrill rides to children's carousels
• New attractions including the immersive ghost train Dr Archibald, the high speed looping ride King Loop and the giant swing Skater
• The return of the family friendly roller coaster Wilde Maus after several years away
• Traditional Luxembourgish specialties such as the famous Gromperekichelcher potato pancakes
• The traditional opening day with Ham a Kuch on the first Friday of the fair
• A festively lit Glacis field that turns into a sea of lights from rides and stalls each evening
• A large closing fireworks display over the Pont Grande Duchesse Charlotte at the end of the fair

Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2026

The Schueberfouer opens daily around 12:00 and runs until roughly 23:45, with some days extending past midnight. Alongside the rides, food stalls and game booths keep things lively, and special program moments include a day when local officials serve behind the counter at fairground restaurants for charity. On the final day, all rides traditionally offer half price admission until 20:00, followed by the closing fireworks around 22:00.

Tickets and Admission for the Schueberfouer

Entry to the Glacis fairground itself is free, as it is an open funfair with no general admission fee. Visitors pay directly at each ride, game or food stand, with prices varying by attraction. No ticket or advance booking is required simply to visit.

Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Luxembourg

• Arriving by bus or train is recommended, since traffic increases around the Glacis and parking is limited
• Late August evenings in Luxembourg can turn cool, so a light jacket is worth packing
• Weekends and the opening day tend to be the busiest, while weekday visits are usually calmer
• Anyone hoping to stay near the Glacis should book accommodation well ahead of the fair
• Families with young children may want to head straight for the dedicated children's carousels away from the bigger rides
