Carnival of Cultures in Berlin

In 1996, the Werkstatt der Kulturen gave birth to the "Karneval der Kulturen" (Carnival of Cultures) in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin.

In 2010, the 15th edition took place between May 21st and 24th. About 380 stands and four stages were set up in order to feed and entertain the 1.4 million visitors that were expected.

On Sunday (23rd), 70 nations were represented by approximately 4,500 people, who joined a streetparade between the subway stations Hermannplatz and Yorckstraße.
