Summer Festival on Leonhardtstraße

A Berlin Street Festival with Neighbourhood Character

The Summer Festival on Leonhardtstraße is an example of a Berlin neighbourhood festival organised by the community, not by a large event agency. The organiser is the association Family & Friends e.V., which curates several art and wine markets as well as street festivals in Berlin neighbourhoods – always with a focus on high-quality arts and crafts and a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere.

Leonhardtstraße — A Special Address

Leonhardtstraße runs through the Charlottenburg district (Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough) between the Charlottenburg District Court and Stuttgarter Platz. The street is notable for its particularly wide pavements and beautiful, historic street lamps – an urban planning detail from the Wilhelminian era that predestines the street for street festivals. In everyday life, small shops and restaurants characterise the scene, making the street a typical Charlottenburg residential area.

What You'll Find at the Summer Festival

The programme has grown over the years and combines several strands:

• Culinary Delights: national and international specialities, street food, wine and beer stands
• Arts and Crafts: high-quality ceramics, jewellery, watches, art postcards, paintings, antiques, African crafts
• Live Music on the stage
• Fashion Summer Sale with boutique stands from the neighbourhood
• Toys, Books, and Home Accessories
• Children's Programme with hands-on activities and face painting

A Reliable Fixture

The Summer Festival is now in its 20th edition and is a firmly established date in the Charlottenburg calendar. Regular visitors from the neighbourhood meet here annually, while the event also attracts visitors from all over Berlin who have come to appreciate the format.
