Procession 2010
On 23rd May about 4.800 participants organised in almost 100 groups changed Kreuzberg into a sea of colours and ideas.Also this year 750.000 visitors peacefully celebrated Berlin's diversity along the route.
The street procession focusses on the cultural richness of Berlin, and also highlights the often hidden treasures of its international cultural scene. It questions everyday life and politics. Carnival is a combined art form that embraces many aspects of artistic expression. Due to the global migration currents it is multifacetted and of mixed styles.
The Carnival of Cultures is open to everybody and all forms of cultural expression. It is regarded as a platform for a proud expression of hybrid cultural identities, containing traditional and contemporary elements. It includes and attracts all age groups, professional artists and amateurs, people from all walks of life.
