Some of the events have a limited seating capacity, which means that you’ll need to register prior to the event and/or book a specific time-slot ticket. You can find all relevant information by going to the online event calendar and clicking on the respective event. At this point you’ll be given the opportunity to register and/or book a free time-slot ticket.  

You can see whether an event is aimed at children and/or families by visiting the page of the respective event. 

It’s important to us that everyone has easy and equal access to the Kultursommerfestival. This is why we’re offering a diverse programme that is as barrier-free as possible.

Each event takes place at a different location. At sites all over Berlin.  

Admission is free. Visitors don’t have to pay any money to enjoy the events.
