====Luxembourg==== In [[Luxembourg]], the pre-Lenten holiday season is known as ''Fuesend''. Throughout the Grand-Duchy, parades and parties are held.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rao |first1=Sarita |title=Carnival: burning men, fancy dress and nuns' farts |url=https://www.luxtimes.lu/en/luxembourg-guide/carnival-burning-men-fancy-dress-and-nuns-farts-602d5d85de135b92368f3668 |website=Luxembourg Times |date=6 February 2021 |access-date=6 February 2023 |archive-date=6 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230206044712/https://www.luxtimes.lu/en/luxembourg-guide/carnival-burning-men-fancy-dress-and-nuns-farts-602d5d85de135b92368f3668 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Pétange]] is the home of the Grand-Duchy's largest pre-Lenten Karneval celebration. Annually hosting a cavalcade with roughly 1,200 participants and thousand of celebrants, the official name is Karneval Gemeng Péiteng or "Kagepe" (the initials in [[Luxembourgish]] are pronounced "Ka", "Ge" and "Pe").{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} The town of [[Remich]] holds a three-day-long celebration, notable for two special events in addition to its parades. The first is the ''Stréimännchen'', which is the burning of a male effigy from the Remich Bridge that crosses the [[Moselle River]] separating the Grand Duchy from [[Germany]]. The ''Stréimännchen'' symbolizes the burning away of winter. The other special event at the Remich Fuesend celebrations is the ''Buergbrennen'' or [[bonfire]] that closes the celebration.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Visit RemichCarnival |url=http://visitremich.lu/lb/que-faire/cool-days/fuesend/ |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Visit Remich |language=en-US |archive-date=3 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220303193243/http://visitremich.lu/lb/que-faire/cool-days/fuesend/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Like Remich, the town of [[Esch-sur-Alzette]] holds a three-day celebration.
