Luxembourg Fest Polka Mass 2021
Join us for the annual Luxembourg Fest Polka Mass. The greatest way to wrap up Luxembourg Fest week is through this special Catholic Mass. Live Music at Mass is provided by the Goodtime Dutchmen. The Luxembourg Fest pageantry is a unique and very popular end to this mass, where the Luxembourg Fest 2021 Duke and Duchess will be crowned. Following mass, the music and dancing continues, and a Luxembourg Lunch is available, including Treipen and other culinary delights.

The LACS Cultural Conference has gone virtual this year! We are celebrating the centenary of suffrage movements in both Luxembourg and the United States. Universal suffrage was adopted into law in Luxembourg in 1919, and women’s suffrage was ratified into law in the United States in 1920. Our expert speakers and their topics show how individuals worked together to create movements and built upon each other’s accomplishments. Join us as we dig deeper into the history of these suffrage movements and show the similarities and differences of events happening at the same time on different continents. There is a $5 registration fee for this conference to help offset technology costs. Everyone who registers will receive a free recording of the conference to watch at any time! Class size is limited- register today!
