Overview

The 7th edition of the Juggling Festival took place on the German Unity Day weekend in 2025 at the Zitadelle Spandau. Two days of juggling, acrobatics, stilt walkers, and fire performance in the Renaissance fortress. Family-friendly, curated, held concurrently with the Gauklerspiel on the same grounds.

The 2025 edition adhered to the established format: two full days of performances, a curated program with professional acts, and a compact weekend running parallel to the larger Gauklerspiel. Both events complement each other — the Gauklerspiel with its focus on medieval markets, and the Juggling Festival with its focused performance program.

The Zitadelle Spandau thus confirms its role as a culturally active site. While the fortress itself functions as a museum during the day, it becomes a stage for Berlin and regional artists on festival days like these. Spandau residents appreciate the format — Spandau is the only Berlin district that actively presents itself as a city with its own historical identity.
