Chimaera Festival 2026

We’re glad you found your way here. You’ve already made it through the hardest part. Now it’s time to settle in, go with the flow, and dive right in. Sound good? Feel right? Then stay.

Chimaera is entering its fourth edition. A volunteer-run, non-commercial festival—by ravers, for ravers. Rooted in subculture, created for subculture. No sponsorship circus, no glossy facades, no pretentiousness—just genuine passion, collective energy, and a space that belongs to all of us.

Between the forest and the water, at the Klingemühle just outside Berlin, a world of its own comes to life for a few days: carefully curated electronic music, live acts, bands, workshops, a sauna, art, and FUNFUNFUN across five floors. High-quality sound and well-thought-out lighting concepts meet top-notch infrastructure—a getaway for everyone, without losing that intimate vibe.

Never been there before? Maybe it’s time. Been there already? Then you know what to do.

We look forward to seeing you!

High-quality sound and thoughtful lighting concepts combine with solid infrastructure—a getaway for everyone that still retains its intimate vibe.
