For this week's cultural tip, we are in the mood for autumn. During this colourful season, several folk festivals can be visited in and around Bochum. Among them are harvest festivals: Thanksgiving has its origins as a pagan festival, which was then adopted by Christianity. Thanksgiving has therefore been celebrated in Germany for centuries, with different rituals and customs depending on the region. For example, many places celebrate Thanksgiving with parade floats and the burning of a straw doll. Many communities organise small fairs. In Bochum, there is a harvest festival at the weekly market in Bochum Riemke: on 21 October from 9 a.m., the market square will be decorated in autumnal style for its visitors.. It will be accompanied by live music.

To get into the mood for autumn, we recommend planning a nice tour through another quarter of Bochum, the Weitmarer Holz in Bochum Weitmar. This recreation area has an enclosure with wild boars and fallow deer. The area includes Bochum’s biggest forest area – therefore, there is enough space for a lengthy hike through the woods. There are also a few restaurants nearby that may be a good option to relax afterwards.
