Trauliicht – the Luxembourgish Halloween

Long before pumpkins were carved, children in Éislek hollowed out beetroots, placed candles inside and carried them through the villages to ward off spirits. Today, this tradition lives on as Trauliicht, often described as Luxembourg’s very own Halloween.

And of course, Éislek also celebrates the more familiar form of Halloween with spooky events and family activities taking place throughout the region.

Whether you are looking for seasonal flavours, family fun, or authentic traditions – autumn in the Éislek is full of variety and atmosphere, waiting to be discovered.
