Musical entertainment was provided by the very talented James "Mudcat" Grant. RLHM President, Steve Schuh, and local talent, Edwin Maus, also entertained us with a few tunes on fiddle and accordion. The RLHM would like to thank all of you who attended, and we look forward to doing this again next year!

Happy Luxembourgish National Day!

The official birthday of The Grand Duke, also known as Luxembourgish National Day, is always celebrated on June 23rd... even though no ruler of Luxembourg was actually born on that day.

The festivities and fun begin the afternoon of June 22nd. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess host a reception to open and close the celebration at the Berg Castle. There is a torchlight parade, a fireworks display, and dancing.

On June 23rd they begin the festivities at the Luxembourg Philharmonie. The Grand Duke, the President of Parliament, and the Prime Minister give speeches. Afterwards there is a traditional military parade and then Te Deum, a religious service at the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Luxembourg.

The Luxembourg National Anthem, Ons Heemecht, is an important part of the day! It is not a rousing war song like most anthems, but instead an appeal for peace. We have attached the Luxembourgish and English translated versions for you to enjoy.

Grab yourself a glass of Crémant de Luxembourg or a Bofferding Pilsner and celebrate the day! The RLHM wishes you all a Happy National Day!

On Saturday, June 14th we were honored to have a visit from Luxembourg Ambassador Nicole Bintner-Bakshian and Consular Frank Biever. They do important work to continue to foster the excellent relationship between our two Countries. They were both warm and delightful. The Ambassador will be wearing her Rollingstone shirt and representing our community and we couldn't be prouder.
