Overview
What is the Clown Festival Berlin?
Clown Festival Berlin is an international event bringing together clowns, performers, and audiences of all ages to celebrate the art of clowning.
The festival showcases various performances, workshops, and activities that explore humor, performance art, and the magic of clowning.
Highlights
Shows
The festival will feature indoor shows in the main building and complementary outdoor performances in the surrounding square.
Internationally acclaimed clowns and performance artists will take the stage, presenting a diverse range of clowning styles — from traditional to contemporary — designed to enchant both children and adults.
A special Cabaret night offers an intimate, curated program that redefines classic clowning entertainment.
Highlights
Interactive Activities
Clown stations invite you to engage in hands-on, creative fun. Held in open public spaces around the event, these moderated sessions — featuring activities like balloon building, soap bubble art, and other playful surprises — encourage spontaneous participation and laughter for visitors of all ages.
While the final schedule is still being fixed, these activities promise to transform the neighborhood into lively hubs of artistic exploration and community connection.
