The Braderie is an opportunity for traders in both the old city, in and around the pedestrian zone, as well as around the Avenue de la Liberté - Luxembourg-gare area, to set up stalls on the footpaths and streets outside their shops, cafés and restaurants, with many offering special discounts on goods. In total, there will be 362 stands, including 35 food stands, 22 associations and 10 from political parties (with the general election looming).
On Monday morning, the Braderie will have two official inaugrations, at 09:30 on the Avenue de la Gare (outside the Witry-Rausch store) and at 10:45 outside the Cityshopping Info Point in the old city.
New this year, the Square Jan Palach (off the Place d'Armes) will be offering innovative designer and retail items from the Grand Duchy; and at the Place de Paris in the station area, food trucks will be offering various specialties from around the globe.
