Maitrank Festival: The Favourite Aperitif in Arlon

The secret of the Maitrank is jealously guarded in Arlon, where everyone has their own recipe. Come and enjoy this drink in Arlon on 25 and 26/05/13.

So what is Maitrank?

This Arlon beverage is extracted from sweet woodruff flower soaked in Moselle wine with oranges and other spices.

Every year, the city celebrates its local aperitif, a seasonal drink that is typical of the region.

During the festivities, folk bands parade across the city. Several tasting stands of Maitrank are set up in the centre of town where a fountain of the famous drink lies, while a show takes place on the Place Leopold.

See below for this year's agenda:

Saturday from 5pm and Sunday from 11am in the city centre. Free entry.
Saturday at 5pm: inauguration of the Maitrank fountain and free sampling.
Music on the Place Leopold and fireworks at the end of the evening.

Sunday from 11am: a great festival of wooden games and street performances.
Fair on the Plaine des Manoeuvres on both days.

Admission is free.
