Finding a bargain at Luxembourg's Braderie

Luxembourg's traditional Braderie takes place on Monday and right up until 6pm, with stands selling their wares at reduced prices along the roadside.

Shopping queens, and indeed kings, were out in force at the start, in the summer sun, to hunt for outfits from summer dresses, handbags, perhaps the first garment for autumn, shoes, suits etc and of course all at bargain prices.

Why is the braderie the same time ass Schueberfouer?

In the early 20th Century, shopkeepers in the capital complained that goods were also being sold at the Schueberfouer, arguing that they were losing out on customers. As a solution, Luxembourg City hosted its first “Braderie” sale in 1929. Since then the “Braderie” is always scheduled to take place on a Monday during the Schueberfouer.
