Par beau temps, de nombreuses personnes se sont rendues au Parc des Sports et des loisirs à Capellen pour célébrer ensemble l’été. Il s’agissait déjà de la troisième édition du très apprécié Summerfest.

The festivities began at 11:30 a.m. The Tëtelbierg Bléiser gave a delightful pre-dinner concert, creating a real Biergarten atmosphere. While the adults enjoyed the music, the children had a great time on the playground.

They were also able to take part in various activities throughout the day. As for food and drinks, everything was arranged to ensure they had a pleasant time.

In the afternoon, Singers Unlimited kept the energy high and the mood upbeat.

The municipality was represented at this successful celebration by Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, Alderwoman Francine Closener, and several members of the municipal council.

In the weeks leading up to summer break, a previously undeveloped corner of the playground at the Campus Kinneksbond elementary school was transformed into a perennial bed that will become, starting next summer, a flower-filled oasis that promotes biodiversity.

This project, carried out in collaboration with the school, the municipality of Mamer, and the SICONA association, involved about 60 students from Cycle 2.1, who planted nearly 650 perennials after learning about the importance of insects to nature.

Mayor Luc Feller, along with Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, also came to learn about the project and, together with the children, listened to the explanations provided by the SICONA experts.

Starting next school year, a flower meadow and about 60 insect hotels—built by Cycle 4 students—will complete this project.

The closing ceremony at the Kinneksbond Campus marked the end of two weeks of summer activities for elementary school children from Mamer, Capellen, and Holzem. Under the theme “Kids on the Move,” the program offered a variety of activities and field trips.

On this occasion, Mayor Luc Feller, Councilman Roger Negri, and members of the municipal council thanked the staff for their dedication and wished the children and their families a wonderful summer vacation.

Dance performances and demonstrations by the various age groups brought the day to a close amid applause from the audience.

The Place de la Résistance hosted the second annual Holzem Village Festival, organized by local organizations with the support of the municipality.

Families, friends, and neighbors gathered to enjoy a pleasant summer evening in a friendly atmosphere. While the children enjoyed the many activities, visitors were able to enjoy some food, chat, and relax.

On the music front, the duo Lungo & Mil kicked off the evening before The Spaceminers got the crowd dancing.

Thanks to the dedication of the organizations and their volunteers, this second edition was once again a great success.

On July 28, 2026, Raoul Mettenhoven (CSV) was officially sworn in as a new member of the Mamer Municipal Council. Aged 41 and a physical therapist by profession, he succeeds Yannick Beck, who resigned from his position for professional reasons.

The new municipal council member was sworn in by Mayor Luc Feller.

In the June 2023 municipal elections, Raoul Mettenhoven finished tenth on the CSV list and was his party’s first alternate to serve on the Municipal Council.

As is tradition, the Festival am Brill came to a close with Latin Night. The band Ecos de Siboney, founded by the grandchildren of the legendary Compay Segundo (Buena Vista Social Club), transported the audience to Cuba with authentic Son Cubano and the classic “Chan Chan.”

Right from the start of the evening, many visitors flocked to the makeshift dance floor in front of the stage, creating a friendly and festive atmosphere. Despite the less-than-tropical temperatures, Brill Park took on a vacation-like vibe.

The Hëllef Doheem Foundation has inaugurated its new facilities in Mamer. The Am Brill Day Center and the Assistance and Care Center are now located together at 3 Rue du Marché, in the Supervised Housing building.

The inauguration took place in the presence of Minister Max Hahn, Mayor Luc Feller, Alderman Roger Negri, Alderwoman Francine Closener, and Simone Frank, President of the Commission on Family and Third Age, as well as residents of the facility.

On this occasion, the speakers emphasized the importance of these community-based services, which enable seniors to receive tailored support while remaining integrated into social life.

In this context, the municipality has also published a Guide for Seniors. It is available in the Gemeng Mamer app under “Publications” or upon request from the Public Relations Department (email: pr@mamer.lu / phone: 31 00 31 2070).

The continuing education courses offered by the Municipality of Mamer in collaboration with the advisory committees are becoming increasingly popular. The number of registrations rose from 1,402 in 2024–2025 to 1,828 in 2025–2026, with 76 courses offered in the fields of languages, the arts, sports, and children’s programs.

At the graduation ceremony at Mamer Schlass, Mayor Luc Feller, Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, and members of the municipal council praised the participants’ dedication and noted that these training programs promote both learning and cultural exchange.

An exhibition of works created as part of the “Introduction to the Arts” course rounded out the ceremony.

This marked the 11th year that the large night market had been held on and around Place de l’Indépendance in Mamer. And once again, the event was a great success. Numerous flea market and information stalls welcomed visitors. There was something for everyone: culinary specialities, home décor items, toys and second-hand goods attracted a crowd from well beyond the municipality of Mamer. This year, food and drink were provided by the Vëlosclub Mamerdall and Café Kleng Gemeng.

Throughout the evening, a warm, village-festival atmosphere reigned over the square. In keeping with tradition, the Haemelmaus Trio provided the entertainment and helped create a wonderful musical atmosphere. Many visitors took to the dance floor.

Mayor Luc Feller, aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, as well as several members of the municipal council, also took part in this convivial evening.

Brill Park hosted a public viewing of the World Cup final in an exceptional atmosphere. A majority of Spanish fans, joined by a few Argentine fans, had gathered in front of the giant screen to watch this highly anticipated match. Mayor Luc Feller, Alderman Ed Buchette, and members of the municipal council were also in attendance.

The many Spanish fans livened up the evening with their flags, jerseys, and cheers. Despite several scoring opportunities, Spain struggled for much of the game against the opposing defense, while Argentina had a hard time creating any real danger.

The goal scored in extra time finally brought relief to the Spanish fans. After a few final scares, Spain won 1-0, treating the crowd at Parc Brill to a final full of suspense and excitement.

The 2026 Festival am Brill kicked off in a friendly atmosphere, featuring music and public screenings of World Cup matches. Many visitors gathered at Brill Park to enjoy this first evening.

For this opening night, the Rolling Stones tribute band Bouldou & The Sticky Fingers performed a selection of the legendary British band’s greatest hits, from “Satisfaction” to “Start Me Up” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.”

Mayor Luc Feller and members of the municipal council also joined the audience for the evening, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the festival atmosphere.

The weekend of the National Road Cycling Championships in Mamer ended on a musical note with a concert by the band Queen Kings.

For nearly two hours, the band performed Queen’s greatest hits. From the very first songs, the atmosphere really took hold, and the audience sang along, clapped, and danced in front of the stage.

Renowned as one of the best Queen tribute bands in Europe, the Queen Kings have won over audiences with their musical talent and stage presence.

Under the summer sun, a packed Place de l’Indépendance hosted the “A Tribute to Phil Collins” concert by the Military Band Big Band, featuring British singer Dave Whitehouse. The evening was one of the musical highlights of the summer in Mamer.

Under the direction of Raoul Christophe, the Big Band—accompanied by musicians from the Luxembourg music scene—captivated the audience with the quality of its performance. With a voice very similar to that of Phil Collins, Dave Whitehouse thrilled the audience.

As the songs went on, the atmosphere kept building, transforming Independence Square into a true open-air concert venue. Food and drinks were provided by the Mamer Volleyball Club
