Every summer the city center of Berlin turns into an exciting carnival, bringing together approximately 1.4 million visitors from around the world. The Carnival of Cultures was established in 1996 to bring together the city’s variety of cultures in a celebration of Berlin’s community. If you are planning to attend this historic celebration, ensure that you book your Berlin hotel early in the year so that you can be sure to experience the extensive list of events that are planned.

The Carnival of Cultures is held in the Kruezberg district of Berlin in June. The event brings together musicians, artists, and masqueraders that represent over 70 countries. The city of Berlin considers cultures as equated to diversity, as more than 1 of 6 Berlin citizens are from other countries. The Carnival is held over 4 days and includes a street festival, a children’s carnival and a parade.
