Carnival of Cultures

The Carnival of Cultures is a fabulous display of traditional and modern cultures reflecting the many different ethnic communities living within the city. It began as a project to encourage communication between the diversity of nationalities, religions and customs in Berlin, and today the extravaganza is one of the biggest events on the cultural calendar. The festival includes international music, dance and theater performances, as well as traditional crafts, food and drink. The highlight is the colorful street parade with hundreds of magnificent floats accompanied by swirling dancers, jugglers, musicians, and entertainers.
