Avocargo Sommerfest - Bike tour and family party with mobility panels

Summer is sadly coming to an end but the Avocargo party is only just getting started.

Join the first ever Avocargo ? Sommerfest ? on 19th of September 2021!

The arrival of 100 (!) new electric ⚡️ cargo bikes and the business area soon expanding all the way from Oranienburger Tor to Ostkreuz are good reasons to come together ?‍♀️ and celebrate ?.

After a bike ? tour with live ? DJ through the business area, the party will happen at Mobilitätshaus Berlin - the maintenance hub of Avocargo - in Kreutziger Straße 28 (near U-Bahn station Samariterstraße). There, the family-friendly event with kids ? program and test ride options will be accompanied by a set of panels about the future of mobility.

Experts ?‍? from NGOs, research institutions, and mobility providers will give you insights into how we will move around Berlin tomorrow. Candidates from major political parties will then discuss ways of bringing these plans onto the streets.
