Bright and colorful costumes, thundering drum beats, and hundreds of thousands celebrating joyfully: Despite the mixed weather, the street parade took place on Pentecost Sunday, marking the 27th edition of the Carnival of Cultures<\/a> in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n

For the first time, the parade route did not traverse Kreuzberg but instead moved along Frankfurter Allee and Karl-Marx-Allee in Friedrichshain and Mitte. This change is due to a major construction site on Gneisenaustra\u00dfe, which is part of the original route. District mayor Clara Herrmann expressed her willingness to consider a return to this route next year, suggesting a potential evolution for the event.<\/p>\n\n

Throughout the afternoon and evening, a total of \u00a068 groups\u00a0 showcased their talents, with \u00a013\u00a0 of them participating for the first time. The vibrant colors, driving rhythms, and elaborate dance choreography defined this year’s parade.<\/p>\n\n
