The Lucerne Cheese Festival (German: Käsefest Luzern) is a cheese festival held annually in Lucerne, Switzerland. It was established in 2001 and is normally run on a weekend in the middle of October at the Kapellplatz (Chapel Square) in the city centre. The next festival is planned to take place on 14 October 2023. The event features the biggest cheese market in central Switzerland, and offers the greatest selection of cheeses. As well as the cheese market and live demonstrations of cheesemaking, typical events during the festival include a milking competition and music such as the Swiss alphorn. The 2012 event featured over 200 varieties of cheese over 23 market stalls, including goat and sheep cheese. The 2020 event was almost cancelled because of social distancing restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, but was approved a few days before with a strict requirement to wear masks. Instead of the Kapellplatz, the festival was run from the nearby Kurplatz (Spa Square). 288 variety of cheeses were available at the festival, including cheesemakers from outside the local region such as the Bernese Jura and Ticino, who had their own festivals cancelled. Around 5,800 people attended the festival, lower than the previous year, with around two-thirds fewer sales. The following year's event continued restrictions, where customers had to taste and buy cheese at a distance, though masks were no longer mandatory. The 2022 event featured demonstrations of the cheese making process, a chalet built of Swiss cheese, and a "cheese chalet" hosting cheese fondue and raclette. India Times in 2014 called it out as one of 10 world food festivals for foodies.

The Blosenbergturm is a former radio transmission tower built for the German-language radio station DRS at Beromünster in the Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1937. It radiated first at 529 kHz and later at 531 kHZ, the lowest officially allocated frequency in the European medium-wave band. The Blosenbergturm is a self-radiating tower insulated against ground, i.e. the entire tower structure is used as an antenna. With a total height of 217 metres (712 ft) it is currently the sixth tallest structure in Switzerland. It has a cabin at a height of 150 m (490 ft), containing a coil for feeding the pinnacle, which is insulated against the rest of the tower, separately with high frequency power. Originally the tower was used as a dipole antenna, fed from the cabin. There was another, 126 m (413 ft) tall, freestanding lattice tower nearby, dismantled in 2011, which, like the Blosenbergturm, was a tower radiator insulated against ground. This tower, which was built in 1931, carried – together with a second tower, which was dismantled and rebuilt at Sankt Chrischona near Basel as a television transmission tower – a T-antenna for medium wave until 1962. After this date it was transformed into a tower radiator, serving as a backup transmitter for the Blosenbergturm itself. The aircraft warning lights on the Blosenbergturm have a special feature: at dawn a rotating beamer above the cabin comes into service. This beamer, which is much less bright than the beamers on the Stuttgart TV Tower, is switched off at night and the red aircraft warning lights are turned on. By watching the blinking light on the pinnacle of the tower, one could detect whether the transmitter was working. The high electrical field surrounding the top of the tower when the transmitter was powered meant that at such times the light glowed faintly even in the blink breaks. The Beromünster transmitter was shut down at midnight (CET) on 28 December 2008, despite some protests against the measure. The 1931 backup tower was dismantled in 2011; the Blosenberg tower itself was declared a heritage monument and may become part of an on-site museum.
