Carnivals, funfairs, street festivals and neighborhood fairs: The most important Berlin folk festivals of the year. more
The largest folk festival in Berlin, formerly the German-French Fair, attracts visitors with amusement rides and culinary delicacies.
The popular folk festival German-French Fair is now in its 62nd year and has been relaunched under the new name "Berliner Volksfestsommer". The festival aims to bring childhood memories back to life with classic fairground attractions, candy floss and fireworks.
The folk festival promises lots of entertainment with fast-paced roller coasters and many rides. Highlights include the Atlantis Rafting white water ride, the High Explosive family rollercoaster, the Gladiator giant propeller, the High Sky Ferris wheel and the Daemonium chamber of horrors. Classic amusement rides such as Auotscooter, XXL-Kraken and Rock & Roller are of course also included.
Don't worry if you're hungry: There are several beer gardens and numerous food trucks with familiar and new delicacies on the festival grounds. Other highlights every year are the giant fireworks displays, which start at 10 pm on Saturdays and colorfully illuminate the sky above the central fairground.
