Berlin presents its most colourful side: At the Carnival of Cultures, numerous groups of diverse nationalities present music, dances, performances, visual arts and acrobatics at a parade of moving floats.

On four festival days, Berliners and tourists experience the capital from its best side: cosmopolitan and international, dynamic and full of life, diverse and colorful. Over 500,000 people have been celebrating the city's colorful mix every Whitsun since 1995.

New route for the 2025 street parade

Due to construction work, the big street parade will take place this year on June 8th on Frankfurter Allee and not as usual on Gneisenaustraße. The new route is around three kilometers long and stretches from Proskauer Straße to Berolina Straße near Kino International.

But not only the parade itself is worth a visit - the street festival around Blücherplatz also invites you to discover the diversity of cultures. A colorful program is offered on several stages. There will be theater, performances, interactive and enchanting events not only for young carnival fans. Interested visitors will also find information stands from sustainable companies and initiatives, a solar craft station, organic crêpes and other delicacies. A total of 350 stands with arts and crafts, culinary delights and information are guaranteed to ensure that your time at the festival will not be boring. An age-appropriate program is offered for families with children.
