Luxembourg City Announces Nopeschfest 2025: Celebrate Neighbourhood Spirit from 23–25 May

Luxembourg City is inviting residents to mark their calendars for the 2025 edition of “Nopeschfest” (Neighbours’ Day), set to take place from Friday, 23 May to Sunday, 25 May 2025. This annual event is all about bringing people together, fostering community spirit, and turning neighbours into friends.

What Is Nopeschfest?

Nopeschfest is a city-wide celebration that encourages residents to organise friendly gatherings in their neighbourhoods. Whether it’s a simple street party, a shared meal, or games for kids, the goal is to strengthen bonds and create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

How to Get Involved

If you’re thinking about hosting a neighbourhood gathering, the City of Luxembourg (Ville de Luxembourg - VdL) is making it easy. Here’s what you need to know:

• The city will provide benches, tables, rubbish bins, and promotional materials like invitation cards, posters, and banners (to be returned after the event).
• If needed and possible, the city can temporarily close certain street sections to provide more space for your event.
• If the main weekend doesn’t work for you, you can organise your Nopeschfest any time up to the weekend of 11–13 July 2025 and still receive support and materials.

Where to Get Materials

Promotional materials and equipment are available at the VdL Special Needs Department (13 Rue Notre-Dame, L-2240 Luxembourg) from Monday to Friday, 08:00–12:00 and 13:00–17:00, until 11 July 2025. Supplies are limited, so it’s best to plan early. For more information, you can call 4796-4150 or email sschammel@vdl.lu.

Special Notes

If you’d like to hold your event in a public park or school playground, you’ll need to request prior authorisation from the city. This ensures everyone’s safety and smooth organisation.

Why Participate?

Nopeschfest is a wonderful way to meet your neighbours, share stories, and create lasting memories. Imagine a sunny afternoon with laughter, shared food, and new friendships forming right outside your door. It’s a simple idea with a big impact on the sense of community in Luxembourg City.

Tips for a Great Event

• Use the city’s invitation cards to invite everyone on your street.
• Organise a potluck so everyone can share their favourite dishes.
• Make it fun for all ages with games or music.
• Take photos to remember the day and share your experience with others.
