A Neighborhood Festival with Character and Tradition

The motto “Citizens meet – we join in” accurately describes the character of this multi-day format: local clubs, institutions, churches, schools, and volunteers shape the program and create a festival of short distances and genuine closeness. This mixture gives the festival its special community character. ([rausgegangen.de](https://rausgegangen.de/events/burgerwoche-bochum-ost-1/))
