From May 29^th to June 1^st Berlin once again hosts the Carnival of Cultures, a four-day street festival featuring a parade and parties throughout the city. Approximately 1.4 million spectators from all over the world are expected to witness the 5,200 participants in this year’s festival.

The Carnival of Cultures brings together artists, dancers and other performers that reflect Berlin’s cultural diversity. With traditional and modern themes that reflect Berlin’s ever-changing landscape, every culture is afforded the opportunity to promote their talents.

Berlin, with a population of 3.4million, is complimented by a diverse population of 450,000 non-Germans and many more with mixed ethnic backgrounds. The carnival was developed in 1995 to positively promote this cultural and ethnic diversity.
