Berlin's Spring Volksfest Kick-off
The Berliner Frühlingsfest is Berlin's major spring Volksfest (traditional funfair) and the season opener for the classic Berlin showman series (Frühlingsfest → Steglitzer Woche → Deutsch-Amerikanisches Volksfest → Berliner Oktoberfest). The venue is the Zentraler Festplatz on Kurt-Schumacher-Damm in the Reinickendorf district, a large paved area used year-round for folk festivals, circuses, and open-air events.
Around 85 Showman Businesses
The Frühlingsfest brings together around 85 showman businesses annually, making it one of Berlin's largest folk festivals. The program includes classics and adrenaline highlights:
- Around the World XXL – 80-meter chain carousel with panoramic views
- Mission Impossible Tower – 80-meter free-fall tower
- Wilde Maus and Rock & Roller Coaster – classic roller coasters
- Ferris wheel with views over Berlin
- Haunted house, bumper cars, children's carousels
- Classic game stalls: shooting gallery, throwing games, archery
- Snack stands with Bratwurst, fries, almonds, crepes, candied almonds, and Schmalzkuchen (traditional doughnuts)
- Beer garden with a selection of German breweries
Fireworks Twice Per Season
Highlights include two fireworks displays, usually set off on a Wednesday or Saturday evening around 10 PM during the season. Dates are announced at the start of the season.
Reinickendorf and the Festival Grounds
Reinickendorf, with 270,000 inhabitants, is one of Berlin's largest districts and is located in the northwest of the city. The Zentraler Festplatz on Kurt-Schumacher-Damm is well-served by several subway stations (U6 Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, U7 Jakob-Kaiser-Platz). With around 250,000 visitors over the season, the Frühlingsfest is a typical Berlin family Volksfest and also a meeting point for showmen from all over northern Germany.
