When the city center becomes a (street) show stage, visitors feast and enjoy at the gourmet market, children bargain, swap and sell again at the children's flea market, sing and dance with well-known children's musicians on the open-air stage in Mohns Park and the funfair on the market square goes wild, then it's Michaelmas Week. The event is traditionally organized by Gütersloh Marketing GmbH (gtm) on behalf of the Gütersloh Tourist Office.
