2025: "PLIC!"

Many months of enthusiasm and commitment went into preparing for the 10^th edition of the parade. It was made up of groups of children and young people who let loose with their imagination and creativity, on the theme "Plic!".

The parade set off at 15:00 from Place d'Armes. It proceeded around the square before splitting into two separate groups that then converged again and then continued through the city's pedestrian zone.

2023's theme: "Coucou!"

Saturday, 1 July 2023 saw the triumphant return of the grand Youth Parade in Luxembourg City. That year's parade – the ninth of its kind – followed on from the previous one held in 2021. The children and youth taking part in the parade spent months preparing for the event, giving free rein to their imagination and creativity around the theme, "Coucou!". For the parade, the streets in the city centre became a giant stage for 10 groups of children and young people, each of which joyfully presented their own interpretation of "Coucou!".

The parade started at 15:00 in Place d'Armes, and then split into two separate formations that eventually converged in the streets of the city. It then proceeded through the pedestrian zone before ending at Place Émile Hamilius. To mark the close of the parade, all the participants joined the throngs of spectators to attend a concert featuring Gyrophare, in the municipal park near the Villa Louvigny.
