This year’s Fest Cultural Forum will take place on Friday, August 7th. Entitled “Multilingualism in Luxembourg’s Literature,” this year’s forum encompasses the many uses of multiple languages throughout Luxembourgish Literature. In this talk the audience will look at and listen to some of the unusual aspects of literature from Luxembourg. Guests will find out what makes Luxembourgish literature unique and investigate the exciting possibilities of playing with language(s). Director of the Luxembourg Literature Archive and Luxembourg native, Nathalie Jacoby has been announced as this year’s presenting speaker. It’s not every day that a Luxembourger visits America, but this August, Luxembourg Fest will bring people from around the Globe to learn about and celebrate Luxembourg Heritage and language together. 

Thursday, June 25th, 2026, while in Luxembourg, LACS Executive Director, Travis Gross had the privilege of meeting with His Royal Highness, Grand Duke Guillaume. It is an honor for our organization to be under his high patronage as we work towards the continued preservation of the roots of Luxembourgish heritage and nurturing the leaves of ongoing relationships between Luxembourg and America. Here at the LACS, we take pride in reconnecting thousands of Luxembourg Americans with their ancestral stories and assisting them in reclaiming their Luxembourg Citizenship as they discover and explore the culture and story of Luxembourg as it is today.

[Belgium, Wisconsin, June 20, 2025.]

Luxembourg is a hidden gem in the heart of Europe. While small in size, the country is rich in culture and history as the world’s last Sovereign Grand Duchy and one of the wealthiest countries on the planet. In the 1800s, Luxembourg immigrants settled around what is now the Village of Belgium. To this day, the area remains full of pride for its unique Luxembourg heritage and continued ties with the country which still stand strong today. The Luxembourg American Cultural Society is proud to present the 39th annual Luxembourg Fest in Belgium, WI, August 8-10, 2025.
