One of the things that I am liking about living in Lucerne is that it feels like they have some events going on almost every week

In my first week here there was the Lucerner Fest, this week is the BlueBalls Festival

A whole week with music, food and cultural activities

This picture I took from the Kunst and Kultur Lucerne centrum. This is the center of from where the majority of the activities are going on.

You can see the whole program on the website of BlueBalls

There are numerous options on what you can do, and how much you want to spend here. For the most things the entrance is free and you can enjoy music whenever you want through out the week.

You can also buy a Festival Pin to have some extra options on entering buildings for some chill time and restrooms at the venues for 20CHF (thats about $20). This thing is valid for the whole week.

The names for the main shows are BIG.

I saw on the program that Milow, Eels, Black Box Revelation, Wolfmother, Jett Rebel, Jessie J, Tom Odell, Alanis Morissette, Asaf Avidan are all playing here, and I would love to go to all those shows!

But you cant have it all right? Let me see if I will pop into one of these shows later on in the week somewhere.

Environment

What I really LOVE about all the events here, is that the organisations really make an effort to keep everything clean. So when you buy a drink for instance you also have to buy a little coin for 2CHF. When you bring back your empy glass or can to the stand together with the coin, and you get back your 2CHF.

This sounds annoying, I know. But realisticly it is actually really good, because everybody brings back their trash to get their money back and there is NO litter on the streets. Nothing wrong with this concept!
