KeNaKo – Africa Festival Berlin
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — KeNaKo Africa Festival
Change of Location to Central Station
The 2025 edition marked a turning point: After many years at Alexanderplatz, the KeNaKo Africa Festival was held for the first time at Washingtonplatz directly at Berlin Central Station – with a central location and significantly higher visibility for commuters and tourists.
2025 Program
As in previous years, the festival consisted of three pillars: a stage with live concerts, dance, and theatre, a market with arts and crafts and culinary specialties from African regions, and an educational and debate program with workshops, readings, and film screenings as part of the Global Learning project.
Organizer and Funding
As usual, Afrika Medien Zentrum e.V. was responsible for the organization; the festival was funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and other institutions. Admission was free.
