Enchanting Fairy Festival in Britzer Garten

The 2026 edition falls on a Sunday in May — perfect for a long family day with a picnic in the park and wandering between the fairytale stations. The organizer is Britzer Garten Grün Berlin GmbH, which manages the park as a public green space for the state of Berlin.

The venues are the rhododendron grove and the meadow near the Heidehof station (park railway stop), both in the southern part of the park. The individual stations are spread over an approximately 1 km circular route — easily manageable with children, even in strollers.

2026 Station Program (Main Attractions):

• Elf Grove (Main Stage): Open-air theatre, fairytale music, aerial acrobatics and fire juggling several times daily (fire only in the late afternoon, as soon as visibility allows).
• Dream Forest: Harp music with professional Berlin harpists, quiet storytelling sessions for the youngest children. Several slots throughout the day.
• Dwarf Village: Carve wooden swords (supervised), painting station, stone tattoo application. Material fee approx. €1–2 for items taken home.
• Unicorn Pasture: Hobby-horse course with fabric horses, participatory activity. Suitable for 4–8-year-olds.
• Dragon's Lair: Darker atmosphere, dragon stories, small wooden sword fighting demonstrations. For 7–10-year-olds.
• Fairy Meadow: Playground, glitter tattoos, short films for children. Picnic meadow on the edge.
• Gnome Workshop: Crafting magic wands, supervised by Freilandlabor e.V. (Berlin environmental education). Approx. 30–45 min per workshop session.

Small Market along the circular route: crocheted fairy wings, fabric dragons, fairytale cards, snacks and drinks from the park catering.
