Karneval der Kulturen

Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures) is a multicultural festival in Kreuzberg, Berlin, celebrated annually since 1996 around Pentecost weekend.

The processions, theatre performances, and music events celebrate peace, tolerance, and multiculturalism.

The first Karneval der Kulturen took place on 15 and 16 May 1996 around Ascension Thursday.

The Karneval der Kulturen then grew to a four-day festival with numerous musical and theatrical performances.
