Stammtisch, São Pedro de Alcântara, Brazil

Located about 30 kilometers inland, São Pedro de Alcântara, Santa Catarina, Brazil, is considered as the first place that Luxembourgish migrants were sent to establish themselves after a few months’ temporary stay on the island of Florianopolis. The town has always put a long standing emphasis on its heritage as a “germanic colony”. 2023 was the first year that Luxembourg was represented at the town’s long running Stammtisch event. ACLUX, the Association of Luxembourgish Citizens in Brazil, had a tent at the event to welcome guests and talk about Luxembourg.
