WLCI on Berlin’s Carnival of Cultures


wlc review


WLCI Fashion School reviews Berlin's Carnival of Cultures! This carnival not only celebrates diverse cultures, their fashion and costume but also the ingenuity of the human spirit.

Every year on the week of the Pentecost (Whitsun), Berlin's Kreuzberg borough come alive with the colors of the world. Celebrated since 1966, long before the two estranged Germany's came together; the Carnival of Cultures puts on a great pageantry of parades, costumes and sounds from the world over. 

Nearly 5,000 participants from 80 countries join the parade, which begins at noon and continues through the evening. From Brazilian Samba dancers and Polish mud-covered artists to bedecked women from Nepal, the performers draw crowds of over a million visitors who flock from far and near.
