Over 20 Years of Neighbourhood by the Water

The Traberwegfest im Seepark Karlshorst has been the unifying neighbourhood festival on the southern edge of the Lichtenberg district since 2000. At Seepark, between Stechlinstraße and Traberweg, just a few steps from the trotting track, families, clubs, schools, and neighbourhood initiatives gather at the beginning of autumn for a two-day programme of music, hands-on activities, and a flea market. The festival is organised by the Familienzentrum Potpourri Karlshorster Kiezladen e.V. at Eginhardstraße 9, supported by volunteers and local partners.

What You Can Experience

The Traberwegfest doesn't focus on top acts or headliners. Its character lies in a mix of flea market finds, games, and small stage moments:

Flea Market Mile: Residents sell clothes, toys, books; register at Familienzentrum Potpourri
Sing-along and Silent Disco on Friday evening as a warm-up
Building Bee Hotels with materials to take home – nature conservation for balconies and gardens
Archery, face painting, small show stage with local artists
Police bicycle coding and action stand by the fire brigade
Food stalls with bratwurst, crêpes, mulled wine, and drinks from the neighbourhood

Karlshorst – A District That Continues to Grow

The festival takes place in the Karlshorst district, which belongs to Lichtenberg but is also frequented by people from Köpenick. Seepark itself is located near the former Soviet garrison and the current civilian trotting track. Karlshorst is considered one of Berlin's greenest residential areas – for one weekend, the Traberwegfest turns this quiet neighbourhood into a lively meeting place. It is not on the same date as the Beer Festival at the trotting track (mid-June); the Traberwegfest has a distinctly neighbourhood-family character and free admission.

2026: September 19

For 2026, Saturday, September 19, has been announced as the festival day; Friday evening (September 18) will likely open again with a warm-up. Full programme and time details will be communicated by Familienzentrum Potpourri in late summer 2026.
