Luxembourg Pride Week 2022
Luxembourg Pride Week 2022
Esch, the LGBTIQ+ capital
A nation open to diversity and to everyone, Luxembourg is once again celebrating Pride this year. Esch-sur-Alzette, the Grand Duchy’s second largest city, has been hosting the Luxembourg Pride since 2010, the country's largest rainbow-coloured annual event.
This year, from 1 to 10 July, many concerts, parades, exhibitions and conferences are organised.
Queer Arts Festival
During the first weekend, queer artists from Luxembourg, the Greater Region and Europe will present their work and talents, through independent films, dance performances, paintings, photography and literary compositions.
Queer Archive Luxembourg
The academic study of the history of the LGBTIQ+ community in Luxembourg remains still in its infancy. However, some very interesting research by historians provide information about individual eras and events.
Rosa Lëtzebuerg has also launched the Queer Archive Luxembourg initiative to document the contemporary queer history of the local community.
The exhibition LGBTIQ+ History in Luxembourg, produced in close collaboration with the National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights, presents for the first time documents and archives collected during the project.
Located at the headquarters of Luxembourg Pride Week, it is open to the public for the duration of the event. Guided tours are possible upon prior request.
"The Wild Little Sister"
Luxembourg Pride Week takes place in official partnership with Esch2022 as part of the European Capital of Culture.
Bastion of open-mindedness and diversity, former stronghold of the country's steel industry, Esch-sur-Alzette, "the wild little sister", has a real alternative cultural offer which deserves to be (re)discovered.
