Throngs of people rejoice in the Carnival of Cultures festivities held in Berlin. - Multitudes throng Berlin's annual Cultural Carnival, marking a vibrant display of diverse customs and traditions.
Hey there! This year, Berlin's annual shindig of diverse cultures, the Carnival of Cultures, is steppin' out of its usual haunts - Kreuzberg and Neukölln - and headin' over to Friedrichshain. Organizers claim this change is to give more space and exposure to the post-migrant community.
The Carnival of Cultures, been goin' strong since 1996 and traditionally held over Pentecost weekend, aims to pump up cultural diversity and artistic expression. Last Friday, the festival kicked off under the wide-open skies of Blücherplatz, Kreuzberg, and continues through Pentecost Monday. Approximately 700 artists and musicians are expected to rock the event this year.
