Public holidays · 2024
Europe Day falls on Thursday, May 9, 2024 in Luxembourg in 2024.
A public holiday across Luxembourg: most employees have the day off.
In 2024 it falls on a Thursday, a working day.
Fixed date: it is on the same day of the year every year (May 9).
Saturday and Sunday · A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.
Europe Day, on 9 May, celebrates peace and unity in Europe and commemorates the Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950, in which the French foreign minister Robert Schuman proposed pooling French, German and other coal and steel production. This led to the European Coal and Steel Community, set up in 1951, the first of the institutions that became the European Union. The anniversary is marked by European institutions, schools and many local authorities. It is a public holiday for EU institution staff, but not in most member states.
The EU marks it with open days at its institutions in Brussels and Strasbourg, concerts, debates and cultural events across member states. The flag of Europe, a circle of twelve gold stars on blue, is flown from public buildings. The Council of Europe, a separate organisation, marks its own Europe Day on 5 May, the anniversary of its founding in 1949. In Finland and Germany the day is a flag day, and in Romania it coincides with the State Independence Day.
Everywhere in Luxembourg.
