A Depth of History
The Carnival of Cultures has been a city staple for over two decades. It was first orchestrated by the Berlin-based organization "Werkstatt der Kulturen" to commemorate the capital's multiethnic glory. The extravaganza now boasts over 70 groups representing their cultural heritage through captivating costumes and performances. Unfortunately, specifics about the move to Friedrichshain and exact 2021 parade details remain elusive in the digital record.
What's Up with the Blücherplatz Digs?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Carnival of Cultures were placed on hold. While the route for the brainy-named Blücherplatz event has yet to be explicitly revealed, past parades have always been a glorious tribute to the city's commitment to tolerance and unity. Whether the 2021 parade will make history by exploring Friedrichshain, or if it will stick to tradition with the familiar Kreuzberg or Neukölln, is to be seen. Keep your dancing shoes close and stay tuned for more details!
