Berlin Carnival 2023

Street Parade Live Stream, Route, Start Time

Watch the streets of Berlin come alive with The Berlin Carnival of Cultures or Karneval der Kulturen to give the correct German title. This is a 4 day carnival event that takes place in May each year. 2023 will be held on 26 - 29 May.

The early days of the festival are focussed on the street festival that takes place in the Kreuzberg district before attention shifts to the huge Carnival Street parade that takes to the city streets on Pentecost Sunday, attracting a crowd of well over a million to watch the spectacle.

The carnival has been taking place each year in Berlin since 1993 and has continued to expand each year to the current version, with huge attendances and over 4000 groups taking part in the carnival street parade, with groups not only from Germany but all around the world for a cavalcade of music, dance, acrobatics, visual arts and performances.
