Morning-
My great grandfather emigrated from Luxembourg to the US immediately prior to the First World War.
I inherited these photos when he passed. Unfortunately I have no context but they are dated 1902-1908.
If you have any insight, please share. My children and I have regained our Luxembourgish citizenship through him and we enjoy learning and connecting with Luxembourg through his belongings.

Moien,
Thank you for posting these.
Here’s how the street in the first picture looks today (Grand-Rue, the main shopping street in the centre)

The pictures of the parade were taken on the place Guillaume II, not far away.
