Weekend kicks off with fresh sequence of happenings:
Bochum, Germany - The bustling city of Bochum is about to get a new addition to its cultural scene. The Urban Market, a lively event celebrating urban life and diversity, is set to take place every second weekend of the month at Gleis 9.
The inaugural event took place on August 9 and 10, 2025, and according to a TikTok source, it will continue on a bi-monthly basis. The typical schedule for the event is Saturday evening to late night and Sunday midday through early evening.
Visitors can expect a vibrant mix of street food, music, art, and culture. Street food vendors will offer a variety of delicious dishes, while music performances will keep the atmosphere lively. For those seeking a more personal touch, the Urban Market offers cultural and artistic experiences.
Photographer Tim Kramer, known for his work in Bochum, will showcase his pictures at a studio on-site. His newly founded association, "Vereint Bochum," will also have a stand where visitors can get T-shirts printed with designs from the association.
Art lovers can also visit the booth of Tres Tes Tattoo Studio, where small tattoos are offered. For those who prefer to keep their body art more subtle, a barber named Ihab Iskandar, who cuts the hair of VfL footballers, will have a stand at the Urban Market for haircuts.
In addition to these activities, the Urban Market will also feature a "Wellbeing Place" on Sunday. This area will offer sound bowl massages and spiritual wellness services, providing visitors with an opportunity to relax and unwind.
The Urban Market is inspired by urban events the organiser encountered during his travels to metropolises like Cape Town and Lisbon. The event aims to capture the pulse of the city and urban diversity, creating an added value with various exhibitors.
