The primary mission of the FNCF, the National Federation of Fairground Merchants, is to promote its activities, including funfairs, while ensuring to defend, encourage, and maintain the interests of fairground professionals in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This organization plays a vital role in representing and supporting fairground merchants, promoting the development of their activities, and ensuring that their professional needs are taken into account and respected. It thus contributes to the vitality and diversity of festive events in Luxembourg, offering citizens and visitors entertaining experiences throughout the year.

About Gare district

Spread over a mere 1 square kilometre, this small and compact area is known for its many shops, bars, restaurants, as well as several unique sights.

Originally built in 1859, and made completely out of wood, the old train station was renovated between 1907 and 1913 following the popular Moselle Baroque Revival style that can be seen all over Luxembourg. It wasn’t until the city expanded in 1920 that the Gare district became one of Luxembourg City’s central districts.

Located on the Bourbon Plateau, and separated from Ville Haute (the old town) by a steep valley, Gare is connected to the rest of the city by a "Passerelle" viaduct built between 1859 and 1861 (now referred to as the “old bridge”) and the Pont Adolphe (the “new bridge”) on the north side.
