Held annually on Whit Monday, the festival features a vibrant flower parade with over 40 floats, music societies, majorette battalions, and folklore groups marching through the streets of Wiltz. The event also includes exhibitions, the crowning of the Broom Queen, a flea market, folk displays, concerts, shows, and the famous broom dance.
