A thick veil of leaves slowly covers the ground and a cool breeze blows through the city 🍃 - there's no doubt about it, fall is here!

But that's no reason to hide under the covers - after all, there are some activities that are only really fun in the fall. Buying pumpkins at the market, for example. There are plenty of them in the Ruhr region in October! But the many parties and concerts (including a great Geheimkonzerte 👀) also make for a varied month. And because autumn also has a cozy side, now is also the perfect time to end the evenings at the theater. 🎭

But see for yourself. 🍂✨
