Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures) is a multicultural festival in Kreuzberg, Berlin, celebrated annually since 1996 around Pentecost weekend. It is organised by the Werkstatt der Kulturen. The processions, theatre performances, and music events celebrate peace, tolerance, and multiculturalism.
The Karneval der Kulturen then grew to a four-day festival with numerous musical and theatrical performances. The number of visitors grew from 50,000 in 1996 to 300,000 in 1997, 1 million in 2000,[1] to more than one million in 2018.[2] The number of participants also grew from 2,200 to more than 4,000,[3] organised into 66 procession groups (2018).[2] These procession groups come from all over Germany, but also include South American and African groups.[4]
The 2020 edition of Karneval der Kulturen, originally scheduled for the weekend of May 31, was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
