A festival that makes the neighborhood visible
The Citizen Week Bochum-East stands for closeness, exchange, and an audience atmosphere that grows from real neighborliness. The program is spread across several venues and connects cultural contributions, activities for families, and offerings for young and old. This special appeal of the festival comes from the fact that it does not feel like a large show from the outside, but rather a joint project from the heart of the district.

Participate instead of just watching
Bochum Marketing and the Bochum-East district council focus on participation and diversity in event planning. Local clubs present their work, complemented by small items for physical well-being and many small program points that carry the festival throughout the entire duration. This creates a low-threshold event with a social character, ideal for families, residents, and visitors from the entire urban area.
