29. Berliner Kinderkarneval der Kulturen

29TH BERLIN CHILDREN'S CARNIVAL OF CULTURES

UNDER THE MOTTO "BE THERE - PARROT!"

On Whit Saturday, June 7, 2025, Berlin-Kreuzberg will be transformed into a colorful children's spectacle, because the 29th Berlin Children's Carnival of Cultures (Kika) is just around the corner! Under the motto "Be there - parrot!", Kika invites you to an unforgettable day full of fun, music and dance. The children loudly conquer the streets and demonstrate with a colorful costume parade followed by a rousing children's festival in the heart of the city.

As one of the largest non-commercial children's and family festivals in Berlin, the Berlin Children's Carnival of Cultures stands for diversity, community and cultural exchange. Organized by Kreuzberger Musikalische Aktion e.V., it offers a platform for children's and youth institutions to present their activities to a wide audience.

COSTUME PARADE & DEMONSTRATION

This year's costume parade is also a demonstration and starts at 12:00 on Mariannenplatz and leads via Oranien-Straße to Görlitzer Park.

With the parade, we want to draw attention together with the children to the situation of the parrots, but also to the underfunding and cuts in open child and youth work, youth culture, political education, school social work and the lack of spaces for children and young people in the growing city. The colorful demonstration is primarily intended to give children and young people the opportunity to step up to the microphone and express their wishes and demands. This should give children and young people the chance to be heard!

The children's festival in Görlitzer Park starts at 14:00 and runs until 19:30! All visitors can expect a wide range of free games and hands-on activities. The festival offers families the opportunity to spend an enjoyable afternoon together - an important aspect, especially in view of rising prices and growing poverty. Numerous clubs, including Alba Berlin, the GSJ and the Spielmobil Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, organize the festival with free activities. On two stages (dance and music stage) there will be a great program by children for children. Many different clubs from Berlin and Brandenburg will be presenting their activities.
