Overview

• The four-day festival runs June 6–9 in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain and is expected to draw about 1.1 million visitors with 830 artists performing on three stages and roughly 350 stalls.
• Sunday’s main parade will start at Frankfurter Allee/Proskauer Straße, travel along Karl-Marx-Allee and conclude at Karl-Marx-Allee/Berolina Straße on a newly rerouted path.
• Berlin police will deploy a four-digit force with mobile stations and vehicle barriers coordinated with organizers to secure the procession.
• Organizers are using leaf plates and reusable cups, protecting the central median as a wildlife habitat and hosting a collective clean-up on June 9 to minimize waste.
• The €2.5 million budget—including €1.4 million from the Berlin Senate—supports an event founded in 1996 to champion diversity and peaceful coexistence.
