Luxembourg
The National Day, undoubtedly one of the flagship festivities in Luxembourg, is celebrated every year on June 23 in honor of the Grand Duke's birthday.
The sovereign's birthday has been celebrated since the 18th century. During the reign of Grand Duchess Charlotte, the date was set as June 23rd, even though her actual birthday was January 23rd. Because her birthday fell in the middle of winter, the celebration was moved to June 23rd to take advantage of the good weather for outdoor festivities. The date remained unchanged after her reign.
The festivities begin the day before National Day, June 22nd, with the traditional changing of the guard in front of the Grand Ducal Palace, followed by a torchlight procession ("Fakelzuch"), and later, at nightfall, an impressive fireworks display over the Adolphe Bridge. Throughout the night, the streets of Luxembourg City transform into a large open-air party with live concerts and DJs, attracting thousands of people.
