On Thursday 28 August 2025, Queens' Day (also known as Kinniginnendag in Luxembourgish and Journée des Reines in French) was celebrated as one of the most graceful and colourful events of the Schueberfouer with queens, visitors and officials gathering at the Glacis for a stroll through the fairgrounds, symbolising a blend of elegance and collective assembly.
Steve Clement, cybersecurity engineer at the Luxembourg House of Cybersecurity, Patrick Goldschmidt, alderman of Luxembourg City, and Charles Harry, President of Luxembourg's National Federation of Forain, joined the queens themselves to interact with visitors and highlight the importance of the Schueberfouer as a meeting place for culture and community.
The royal parade with regional wine queens, beauty queens, beer queens and other crowned representatives began with a stop at the Gréngt Spill restaurant, where the queens and accompanying officials refreshed themselves with a drink. Afterwards, the ceremonious stroll continued to various attractions such as Belle-Vue, Take Off and the iconic carousel, before concluding at the restaurant Chez Irène, where the event ended with a meal.
The tradition of Queens' Day was introduced in 2003 and has become a regular feature of the Schueberfouer programme and brings together representatives from various traditional events linked with Luxembourg's cultural heritage. While there might be a common perception that Queens' Day appears as a royal spectacle for visitors, the celebration carries deeper significance, symbolising regional solidarity and blending the medieval roots of the Schueberfouer with its modern festivities.
