Event:  Schueberfouer Fair – August 23 to September 11, 2019.

The U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg wishes to remind U.S. citizens to exercise caution during the fair.  Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and other non-violent crimes of opportunity generally occur in and around the fair grounds.  Alcohol related incidents are also common during the later hours of the festival, both on the fair grounds and in the surrounding neighborhood streets. The Embassy is presently unaware of any specific threat information concerning this event; however, events attracting large crowds have been the target of recent terrorist attacks throughout Western Europe.
