Between the years: It's that strange time when the days somehow blur into one another and the clock simply ticks differently. Between cookies, Christmas trees and sofa hopping, it can sometimes be really hard to get yourself up for anything. But trust us, it's worth it. Even "between the years" in 2024, there are plenty of great events in the Ruhr region where you can end the year relaxing (or dancing wildly).

So, what are you waiting for? ✨💜
