Every year since 1996, around Ascension Day a procession of musicians, acrobats and joyous people from a variety of cultures has made its way through Kreuzberg. The noisy and colourful demonstration in support of diversity, openness and tolerance moves from Hermannplatz to Möckernstraße, and forms part of a four-day street festival with around 350 stalls.

Prizes are awarded for the performances. In 2016, 73 groups with more than 5,000 performers took part in the procession.
