The motto
The city's Indian diaspora, everyone who wants in. Open door, no gatekeeping.
A row of diyas, a full stage, Jules B-Part lit from within. Diwali the way it's meant to be.
Bollywood party, dhol drums, karaoke, stand-up comedy. The night doesn't take itself too seriously.
Love. Light. Laughter. Three threads, one Saturday — the 5th consecutive edition of Berlin's biggest Diwali.
The Night · 5th Edition

The stage
What's on the day
One Saturday at Jules B-Part am Gleisdreieck. Outdoor and indoor, step-free, family- and dog-friendly. The 5th edition of Diwali in Berlin, organised by Wedesi. Over 50,000 people joined our Berlin festivals in 2025.
Classical Bharatanatyam and Kathak, sitar and tabla, Punjabi dhol drums, and a Bollywood-fusion showcase. High-energy sets from Berlin's tightest South Asian performers — every tradition, one stage, one night.
Bass-heavy, feel-good, nobody sits down. The dance floor opens after sunset and runs until close. Alongside it, an open-mic Bollywood karaoke stage. Grab the mic if you feel it.
Seven Indian and South Asian kitchens cooking North Indian curry and tandoor, Nepali momos, Gujarati snacks, Mumbai chaat, Indo-Chinese, South Indian dosa, samosas, and a full mithai bar. Pay-as-you-go on the day.
Sharp, international, Berlin-shaped. Bilingual English–Hindi comics running short sets between the dance blocks.
Bring the whole family. Rangoli painting, crafts, and hands-on activities for younger visitors run all day. Step-free venue, dogs on a lead welcome.

Diwali in Berlin · Saturday, November 7, 2026 · Jules B-Part am Gleisdreieck
Berlin's biggest night of Indian culture, run by the same Wedesi team that has been staging Holi, Diwali, and The Great Indian Food Festival in this city for years. This November, every tradition steps on stage together.
The venue
Jules B-Part am Gleisdreieck, in the middle of Kreuzberg. The U-Bahn rattles overhead; Diwali happens underneath.

Classical Bharatanatyam back-to-back with Bollywood dance crews, sitar strings before dhol drums, a Berlin sunset over the karaoke mic.
After dark
Diyas lit, dance floor full, laughter loud. A Bollywood party heavy on bass and feel-good — the closing note on a day of Indian culture.
50,000+ joined Wedesi in 2025
Diwali in Berlin pulls from every corner of India. Six traditions arriving on stage, each paired with the kitchen worth eating at while it plays.

Hundreds of small oil lamps lit together, the moment the noise drops and Diwali begins.
India
A 7-string sitar and a pair of tabla drums, the oldest sound on the day's programme.
