About this event
International street theatre takes over two of Berlin's busiest squares this summer: circus, comedy, clowning, fire art, magic and dance performed daily by touring companies, alongside a street-food and craft market. Shows run roughly 15:00–22:00 with market stalls open longer. Entry is free at every show — performers pass a hat afterwards, but paying is entirely optional.
Why we picked it
A six-week, city-centre street theatre festival with free daily shows and a lively market — one of Berlin's biggest free entertainment programmes.
Free entry
Eintritt frei (entry free) at every performance; artists collect optional hat money after shows
