About Us

The Bazar International de Luxembourg is a Luxembourgish organisation that is quite unique. Run entirely by volunteers, it is non-commercial and independent and combines the act of fundraising with a multicultural shopping event that attracts thousands of visitors into the halls of LuxExpo The Box. For 60 years, it has been the largest international fundraising event in Luxembourg.

Every year the Bazar International supports dozens of charities worldwide. Where else but in Luxembourg can you gather over 60 nationalities under one roof and see them raising funds for worthy causes while also representing their own countries?
