Metropole Ruhr Guide

The Ruhrgebiet celebrates - Be a part of it
5.1 million people live, love, work and celebrate here. And there are plenty of good
occasions to celebrate. Festivals, concerts, events – the offer is so varied, there is
also something suitable for you. As colourful and diverse as the Ruhr area is the
annual ExtraSchicht major event held on the last weekend of June. For around
20 years now, the event, which takes place simultaneously in over 20 cities and at
around 50 venues, has been delighting visitors. ExtraSchicht offers you a unique
opportunity: look behind scenes of different places and experience what it feels
like when an entire region celebrates together. There many highlights, such as light
installations and fire shows, which are setting industrial culture in scene.
Culture and cultural heritage are also reflected in the many small kiosks in the Ruhr
Area. The day of the kiosks (Tag der Trinkhallen) is dedicated to them, where locals
and guests celebrate an exuberant street festival among candy and art. Another
thrilling event is the Choir Festival !SING – DAY OF SONG, which is celebrated
throughout the entire Ruhr Area and where the singing of thousands of voices can
be heard.
