Fête des Hauts Fourneaux 2026
The Fête des Hauts Fourneaux will take place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, starting at 6:00 p.m., on the Terrasse des Hauts Fourneaux in Belval. Every year, nearly 3,000 visitors gather for this event—which has become a must-see—at the heart of this iconic site of Luxembourg’s industrial heritage.
With a Japanese theme, the 2026 edition will offer the public an immersive experience in a world blending traditions, arts, and cultural discoveries. Artistic performances, workshops for all ages, and demonstrations will punctuate the evening, culminating in a spectacular finale with “Hanami,” a fire show inspired by Japanese poetry and the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms.
