About this event
Berlin's long-running open-air street theatre festival takes over the square outside the main station, mixing clowning, acrobatics, fire art, magic, dance and live music with a street-food market. Performers rotate daily, so no two visits repeat. The market runs from late morning to late evening and the stage programme builds through the afternoon into the night.
Why we picked it
Free, central, and running every single day of the priority week - an easy default recommendation for anyone in Berlin right now.
Free entry
