About this event
International street artists bring circus, comedy, fire shows, dance and clowning to two of Berlin's busiest public squares throughout summer. The festival runs daily with a rotating cast of acts, food stalls and live music, moving from the Hauptbahnhof forecourt to Potsdamer Platz in late August. No tickets needed - performers simply pass the hat afterwards.
Why we picked it
A daily, no-cost dose of world-class street performance in two of Berlin's most central, tourist-friendly locations.
