Emaischen in Luxembourg: The Festival Where We Speak in "Péckvillchen"!

Every Easter Monday, a sweet melody fills the streets of the Marché-aux-Poissons in Luxembourg City and the village of Nospelt. But no, it’s not a concert of international superstars—it’s Emaischen, the festival where little ceramic birds steal the show!

But What Exactly is a "Péckvillchen"? 🐦
The Péckvillchen is the undisputed star of Emaischen. Behind this tongue-twisting name (try saying it three times fast!) hides an adorable ceramic bird-shaped whistle. Just add a bit of water and blow into it to hear its unique chirping sound—or a bubbly gurgle if you haven’t quite mastered the technique!

In the past, only potters from Nospelt made these little birds, but today, artists and craftsmen get creative, designing Péckvillchen in all shapes, colors, and styles.

A Festive Market Full of Fun 🎭
Emaischen isn’t just about ceramic birds. It’s a lively market filled with handmade crafts, delicious food stalls (because what’s a festival without snacks?), and a joyful atmosphere. Street performers, live music, and fun activities make this public holiday a day to remember!

If you are a collector, keep an eye out—some Péckvillchen become valuable collector’s items over the years. Who knows? You might be holding a future treasure!

Where and When to Celebrate Emaischen? 📍
Join the fun every Easter Monday in Luxembourg City and Nospelt, the historic potters’ village, to experience this unique and charming tradition.
