The Card House isn't the only venue bringing excitement. On Sunday, September 7th, a big family festival will take place, featuring games, crafts, and surprises for the whole family. The Stadttheater will also reopen on this day, but the head of the Kartenhaus has not been explicitly stated in the provided search results.
