Allee der Klänge

A Neighborhood Becomes a Stage

The Allee der Klänge is one of the most charming summer festivals in northern Berlin: a two-day musical journey that transforms the Augustekiez in the Reinickendorf district into a series of open performance spaces. Instead of one large main stage, a decentralized network of concerts is created in backyards, front gardens, courtyards, and small parks along Auguste-Viktoria-Allee and Scharnweberstraße. The idea: to make music audible where people live, shop, and exist.

2026 Edition – The Eighth

The eighth edition will take place on Friday, June 12, and Saturday, June 13, 2026. The program features 13 bands, soloists, and ensembles spread across about ten performance venues. The programming is intentionally diverse: family concerts in the afternoon, jazz in the early evening, world music, and singer-songwriters afterward. Those strolling through the neighborhood can create their own concert itinerary – four, five, or more sets in a single day.

How the Festival Works

• Free admission at all venues
• Approximately ten performance locations in backyards, gardens, and parks
• Spread over two days, each with its own focus
• Recommendation: Bring a folding chair or picnic blanket
• Family-friendly – some concerts explicitly designed for children
• Donation boxes at each concert for the musicians

The Augustekiez in Reinickendorf

The Augustekiez is located in southern Reinickendorf, bordered by Auguste-Viktoria-Allee, Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, and Scharnweberstraße. Architecturally, it's dominated by pre-war Berlin modernism with its green courtyards – one of the greenest, quietest residential areas in northwestern Berlin. These courtyard structures are precisely what make the festival possible: residents open their courtyards for a weekend, and the city sounds like a village.

Organizers

The Allee der Klänge is curated and organized by Kirschendieb & Perlensucher Kulturprojekte, a collective based in Reinickendorf specializing in site-specific music and cultural formats. Supported by the district of Reinickendorf, Berlin, and local partners.
