Bunte Tüte – The Family Festival Berlin

Festival at the ufaFabrik

Since the late 1970s, the ufaFabrik has been one of Berlin's most renowned independent and cultural centers. On a former film copying plant site of Universum-Film AG on Viktoriastraße in Berlin-Tempelhof, it now combines theater, a circus school, a concert stage, an animal farm, an organic bakery, and pioneering ecological technology. For the Bunte Tüte, this area is opened up entirely for families on a Saturday in May.

Magic, Concerts, Circus

As the name suggests, the festival offers a "colorful bag" (bunte Tüte) full of surprises. Magic shows, concerts for children, captivating circus acts from the in-house ufa circus school, comedy and improv performances, and hands-on workshops are spread across several stages. Small stages become mini concert halls, and larger outdoor areas transform into picnic lawns.

Children Participate

Unlike traditional family days, Bunte Tüte is highly participatory. Children become active participants – at the DIY magician's stand, in the acrobatics workshop, in the pottery area, or while making bracelets. Adults accompany them but are also welcome to watch, grab a coffee at the organic bakery, and explore the grounds at their leisure.

The ufa Spirit and Berlin's Family Scene

With Bunte Tüte, the ufaFabrik continues its tradition as a pioneering site for ecological and social urban culture in a family-friendly format. The festival is part of Berlin's growing family festival scene and makes the Tempelhof grounds a destination worth visiting even without children – simply to experience the spirit of the ufaFabrik.
