Berlin Culture Festival and Carnival takes place every year during the Pentecost weekend, and the main attraction is the big carnival parade on Sunday.
Lots of people in the streets on Sunday for the Parade. It goes on for more than four hours.
Over 900 artists maintain and participate in the four-day street festival, which is a huge platform for most forms of cultural expression with both traditional and modern features.
The first culture carnival was 16 May 1996 and has since then been celebrated each year during the Pentecost weekend, a great festival with colors, music and happy dancing people from around the world.
The carnival is visited by over a million participants during the festival and parade.
Between 4000 – 5000 artists, both professionals and non-professionals, take part in the parade at the colorful rolling plateaus.
What’s nice to Berlin culture festival is that it’s for all ages from different cultures and parts of society, and everyone seems to having they’re best weekend ever during this great festival.

Of course, large crowds in Berlin this weekend and it is recommended to plan the trip in advance.
Best location to stay during the Cultural Carnival in Kreuzberg where the festival takes place.
You then basically walk or take the metro only a few stations to Hallesches Tor (Metro U6 and U1) or Mehringdamm (Metro U6 and U7).
The festival area is between those stations. A good hotel we’re staying at during the festival is Wyndham Grand Berlin, A great hotel just 700 meters from the venue.
Also walking distance to Potsdamer Platz (20 minutes). Additionally very close to S Metro station Berlin Anhalter Bahnhof.
