Contest : three booklets of 10 tickets to be won, for the Schueberfouer !

The Schueberfouer is the unmissable event of the summer in Luxembourg, and and certainly a chance for a really fun day out with colleagues from Quintet!
Each year, 2 million visitors enjoy themselves amidst aromas of grilled almonds, fried fish and Gromperekichelcher (potato fritters). As part of this festival, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages, a multitude of rides and game stalls attract the young and old for 3 weeks, from the end of August to the beginning of September.

Three booklets of 10 tickets to be won!

With the Fouer having just opened its doors on 21 August, the ALEBA Section has decided to give you the chance to win three booklets of 10 tickets for your favourite rides! (value: 51 euros per booklet)

How to participate ? Send an email to info@aleba-quintet.lu with the name of the page of our website where the photo of the famous Ferris wheel – which appears every year at the fairground – has been hidden (page "Events", or "Team" for examples). The three winners will be drawn at random from the correct answers received by midday on Wednesday 26 August.

Rides and culinary delights

The Schueberfouer – or simply Fouer – dates back to 1340. It is the biggest funfair in the Grand Duchy and the Greater Region. Each year, in late August and early September, almost two million people visit the 10-acre funfair on the Glacis, where almost 3.5 km of funfair rides and other attractions are on offer. A unique mix in Europe of 200 attractions, including 25 gigantic high-adrenalin rides, more than a dozen attractions for young children, nearly as many restaurants and a host of brasseries, sweet stalls, lotteries, shooting ranges, etc. It's a must!

Small stalls with all kinds of merchandise can still be found lining the Allée Scheffer, where all sorts of items can be purchased, from nougat to grilled almonds, from Central African ebony sculptures to whisks and from magic tin-openers to old-fashioned CDs.

As usual in funfairs, food and drink are a highlight. The Fouerfësch is an absolute must. It is whiting cooked in a beer batter, generally served with chips, beer or a lesser dry wine from the Moselle.

If you are not a fan of fish or if you prefer to eat while you take a stroll, you will find other options to your liking: you can find any grilled food that is generally served at popular festivals in Luxembourg, as well as stalls offering foreign specialties
