Karneval der Kulturen & Fest der Nationen
Wenn mehr als eine Million Menschen am Straßenrand staunen und mitfeiern, dann ist wieder Karneval der Kulturen in der Hauptstadt.
Beim Karneval der Kulturen (KdK) zeigt sich die Hauptstadt von ihrer besten Seite: international, kulturell vielfältig, tolerant und voller Lebenslust! Bei hoffentlich schönstem Wetter mit Sonne, Regen, Blitz und Donner werden mehr als 1 Million Besucher an vier Tagen die schillernde Kulturszene Berlins, die in ihrer Vielfalt einmalig in Deutschland ist, erleben.

B-Parade in Berlin
2012, it's time again. The Love Parade returns after six years as a B-parade back to Berlin.
The organizers want to continue with a slightly modified approach to previous successes. In addition to the well-known moving trucks that serve as platforms, there will also be a "Charity Truck" on the 21st July 2012 whose proceeds will go to a charitable project. We assume that the 3.12 km long parade between the Brandenburg Gate and the bridge Charlotte will attract a lot of ravers to Berlin in 2012.

You have not yet found a suitable hostel for the B-Parade weekend in Berlin?
Then book your room for the B-parade 2012 in Berlin now!

Popkomm
As an international platform for the music and entertainment industry Popkomm attracts thousands of trade visitors from all over the world. The integrated concept of this event makes it unique. Popkomm is the only industry meeting place in the world that combines a trade show with a convention and a festival. Consequently Popkomm is a major attraction not only for its core business of music but also brings the representatives of other sectors such as concerts, the movies, mobile entertainment, fashion and advertising to the exhibition halls in Berlin.
The festival programme for 2012 is being drawn up in a collaborative process involving an international musical network that has been developed over the past five years and has proved highly effective. The names of the first participants in the festival will be announced in April 2012.

PYRONALE 2012
On two nights around 60.000 spectators watched the gigantic fireworks-choreography in magnificent dimensions at the indeed most spectacular pyro-technical competition in Germany. This exceptional event is a fantastic occasion for spectators and media and is one of the main attractions in Berlin.
In competition are shows, which brilliantly combine traditional fireworks artistry with modern pyro-technics. With its furious premiere in 2006 the Pyronale became a paragon for unique presentations of paramount fireworks artistry.

ILA – Internationale Luft und Raumfahrtausstellung
The Berlin Air Show will present a wide-ranging review of advanced aviation and space technology on the ground and in the air. Increasing specialisation in the aerospace field has led to a growing emphasis on a number of specific areas of business, a development to which the ILA has responded by creating various segments designed to reflect the present market situation. These include Commercial Aviation, Space Flight, Defence and Security, Equipment, Aero Engines and Materials, as well as General Aviation. With some 100 accompanying conferences the ILA 2012 will be augmenting its already dominant position as the leading international trade show and conference event for the aerospace sector. During the first three days admission to the ILA will be restricted to trade visitors only.

39. BMW Berlin Marathon - Läufer
On September 30th 2012, over 40,000 athletes set off on the fastest marathon course in the world, cheered on by a million spectators and more than 70 live bands, the 39th BMW BERLIN MARATHON will once again captivate the German capital.
Participating in the 39th BMW BERLIN MARATHON means a lot more than just running the same 42 kilometres together with the fastest athletes in the world, however. Experiencing the fantastic atmosphere along the course and running through the Brandenburg Gate and past the grandstands the last 400 metres to the finish line make this euphoric marathon race an unforgettable experience for everyone.

63. Internationale Filmfestspiele
Berlin - a cosmopolitan, exciting capital, a city of culture with international appeal. In the middle of it all: the Berlinale – not only the city’s largest cultural event, but also one of the most important dates on the international film industry’s calendar. More than 19,000 film professionals from 120 countries, including 4,000 journalists, are accredited for the Berlin International Film Festival every year. At the same time, it is a festival of encounters and discussions. With more than 200,000 tickets sold, the Berlinale is not only a film industry meeting. It also enjoys by far the largest audience of any film festival in the world. For two weeks, art, glamour, parties and business meet at the Berlinale.
Up to 400 films are shown every year as part of the Berlinale's public programme, the vast majority of which are world or European premieres. Films of every genre, length and format can be submitted for consideration. The Berlinale is divided into different sections, each with its own unique profile: big international movies in the Competition, independent and art-house productions in Panorama, movies specially for a young audience in the Generation section, the most exciting German cinema productions in Perspektive Deutsches Kino, an in-depth look at films from “distant” countries and experimental forms in the Forum, as well as an investigation of diverse cinematic possibilities in the Berlinale Shorts. The programme is rounded off by a thematic Retrospective and a Homage, which focuses on the lifework of a great cinema personality. Both of these sections, which are curated by the Berlin Film Museum, aim to place contemporary cinema within a historical context.
