Things to do in Luxembourg in May 2027

21 events in Luxembourg and the Greater Region in May 2027, from the highlights to every week of the month. Each date, venue and link is checked by hand; sold-out and cancelled events stay listed and are marked.

Highlights, with my take

  • Fri 21 May 2027 – Wed 26 May 2027 · European Convention Center Luxembourg (ECCL), Luxembourg-Kirchberg

    ECIS 2027: Bridging Digital Borders

    A six-day international academic conference of this rank landing in Kirchberg is a real coup for SnT, and the October paper deadline is the part locals should not miss.

  • Thu 27 May 2027 – Sun 30 May 2027 · Nürburgring, Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

    ADAC Ravenol 24h Nürburgring 2027

    Still the best motorsport weekend in the Grande Région and about two hours from Luxembourg City. Book accommodation absurdly early or plan on camping.

  • Sat 8 May 2027 · Poteaupré, Chimay, Belgium

    Trail de Chimay 2027

    Furthest west of the Wallonia trails worth the drive from Luxembourg, and the finish a kilometre from the abbey, with a cold trappist waiting, is the reason people go back.

  • Sun 9 May 2027, 10:00 · Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

    Gutenberg Halbmarathon Mainz 2027

    Flat, fast and about two hours by car or train from Luxembourg, which makes it a realistic spring target race if the ING Night Marathon the day before is not your thing.

  • Mon 10 May 2027 – Thu 13 May 2027 · Luxembourg (venue to be announced)

    Space Resources Week 2027

    Space resources is the niche where Luxembourg genuinely convenes the world, and ESRIC has kept that going since 2018.

  • Mon 10 May 2027, 19:30 · Grand Auditorium, Philharmonie, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

    Yuja Wang

    Wang programmes her recitals late and plays them hard. Worth going in without checking the programme first.

  • Thu 13 May 2027 – Sat 22 May 2027 · Saarbrücken, Germany

    Festival Perspectives 2027

    A festival that plays on both sides of the border, in Saarbrücken and in the Moselle, and surtitles each show in the neighbour's language: the closest thing the Greater Region has to a shared stage.

  • Thu 13 May 2027, 19:30 · Grand Auditorium, Philharmonie, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

    Anne-Sophie Mutter: The Bow and the Baton

    Mutter directing from the violin rather than standing in front of a big orchestra is the more interesting version of her.
