ROAD AGAIN- OUR PRESENTATION FOR 2023
CARNIVAL EXPLOSION PRESENTATION SELECTION
Since 2012 we bring the beauty and joy of life in the style of Caribbean Carnival to the streets of Berlin. We have been inspired by very different cultural, historical but also themes of everyday culture in the past years. In 2020 we wanted to go a new path with an Asian-Caribbean theme. Due to the pandemic, the parade has been canceled. For 2023 we are just happy to be back!

PRESENTATION FOR 2023 – ROAD AGAIN
4 years after the last Carnival of Cultures the theme is: ROAD AGAIN. We are simply happy to celebrate life and music on the streets again. Due to the short lead time until the final confirmation of participation and the very much increased material costs, it was unfortunately not possible for us to create new costumes. Each Masquerader will present himself in a professionell costume from the past years. Thereby we show the variety and beauty of different costumes and contribute to sustainability.
