Monday February 20, 2023 -- This isn't a hike, just an outing I did for the day to go have a look at the Luzern Carnival Wey-Parade.
Carnival is a big deal here in Switzerland (it is called Fasnacht) and every community has events and a parade, consisting of elaborate costumes, floats and music bands playing something called "Guggenmusik". The best-known Fasnacht celebrations are in Basel, Bellinzona and Luzern.
We have caught parts of the Bellinzona Carnival (Rabadan) twice now, but I had never been to the Luzern Parade, so I took a short trip there this day. Here is a summary of some of the costumes and music bands in the parade on this Monday:

To be honest, I liked the Bellinzona celebrations better, and even preferred our local Fasnacht celebration in the nearby town of Baar, which we have watched twice before as well. Some photos of those two locations are included at the bottom of hiking excursions which we did on the day the parades were held:
