Carnival of Cultures<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How will it continue despite financial difficulties?<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as the Carnival 2013 has been again a colorful and beautiful event in Berlin, concerns and questions has been raised everywhere -not only in the preparation to this years carnival, also during the event and afterwards. How will it continue? Will the disappearance of participating groups continue? How will it be possible to find more potential donors and sponsors, who understand the value of a multi-cultural event in the growing city; or to increase the funding in general?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The majority of visitors is just enjoying the “Volksfest” and not very much interested in the politics and existing difficulties behind the scenes. However, when I asked around during the event, it was obvious that some people had realized the decreased numbers of groups in the parade (20 less than in 2012). Should this trend continue, the main event of the Carnival may become insignificant.<\/p>\n

So it seems to be very urgent, that the organizers find new ways to find a minimal support for all groups, in order to motivate the former and would-be groups to participate (again). Yes, it is urgent, because many of the groups are planning one year ahead to have enough time to make their costumes, to coordinate musicians or to organize a truck.<\/p>\n

An event, which was once on the way to rise to the level of the Nottinghill Carnival<\/a> in London is now in danger of falling to the importance of a local street fest. But who will step in and find new ways to revive the event ? We will observe the developments and keep you posted.<\/p>\n
