2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — May 1st Culture Folk Festival
The 2025 edition once again showed why the Ruhrfestspiele opening on May 1st is one of the most defining cultural events in the Ruhr area. The combination of classical music, literature, trade union demonstration, and family program has once again proven its worth. International gastronomy and the sustainable reusable system have definitively established themselves as permanent fixtures.
Programme
