October 26: Eurogala, Salles des Fêtes in Roeser, doors at 7pm

Determined not to miss out on the Eurovision although Luxembourg isn't competing anymore, in 2007 a fan group decided to hold their own Eurogala Night. This year is the sixth edition, and the night will be a traditional song contest where people, not only from Luxembourg but other countries, take part by singing a song from the Eurovision repertoire. They will be scrutinised by a panel of 12 international judges, each representing a nation – just like in the real Eurovision. The show will be hosted in English, French and Luxembourgish, and previous Eurovision contestants will grace the Eurogala stage. If you weren't lucky enough to win tickets with wort.lu/en, they can be purchased at galanight.net at 25 euros, or on the night for 35 euros. Read the wort.lu article
