UPDATE 5/23/2020 – The 2020 Schobermesse Festival has been cancelled.

The Luxembourg Brotherhood of America has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Schobermesse due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The LBA attempted to reschedule the festival for later in the fall, but unfortunately was unable to secure a suitable venue amid the uncertainty around whether large public gatherings will be allowed at that time. The LBA looks forward to resumption of the Schobermesse in the summer of 2021.

Celebrate with all the sections during our Schobermesse and National Picnic Day! Food, soft drinks and Beer/Wine available for purchase. Games for all ages! The music will inspire you to get up and dance. Join us to share the Luxembourg cultural heritage.
