Berlin's largest bicycle festival

Since 2011, VELOBerlin has been the central platform for the German cycling scene and by far Berlin's largest bicycle festival. In spring, the festival brings together around 200 exhibitors, 1,000 athletes, 100 speakers, and up to 20,000 visitors in Hangar 5 of the historic Tempelhof Airport – an industrial space with 16-meter-high ceilings, offering ample room for large stands, test tracks, and a stage program.

200 exhibitors in five themed worlds

The exhibition is divided into several areas: Urban (city and commuter bikes), Family & Kids (children's bikes, trailers, e-cargo), Road Bike / Gravel (racing and gravel bikes), Cargo (cargo bikes for families and businesses), and Tourism (touring bikes, bikepacking equipment). Established brands like Specialized, Pelago, or Alpina will be present, as well as Berlin startups and manufacturers.

Test tracks, stages, workshops

On five test tracks, you can try out current models directly – asphalt, gravel, technical trail setup on Tempelhofer Feld in front of the hangar. Three stages will host the program: talks with professionals, political panels on Berlin's cycling policy, workshops on maintenance, bikepacking, safe urban cycling, plus BMX demos and hands-on activities for children. Topics range from concrete bike purchases to the sustainable mobility transition.

Family Track and VELOFamily

A dedicated track, VELOFamily, has been set up for families: children's bikes for testing, children's musicians on stage, BMX demonstrations, and a special workshop program for parents (safety, saddle setup, route planning for children). Admission is free for children under 14, as well as for accompanying persons with a severe disability pass.
