About this Event
Berlin, lights on. 🪔
On Saturday, 7 November, the festival of lights takes over Jules B-Part for the biggest Diwali this city has ever seen.
We've grown, so we've moved. Edition five brings a bigger venue, a bigger crowd, and a bigger night.
Thousands of people. Dozens of cultures. One very bright Saturday in Berlin.
You don't need to know what Diwali is to feel it. Think colour, rhythm, incredible food, and a crowd that actually wants to dance. It's the kind of night Berlin does best: open, loud, and a little bit unexpected.
No door policy, no dress code, no attitude. Alle sind willkommen.
🔥 THE LINEUP
💃 Live Dance Performances: High-energy stage shows from Berlin's own performers, blending classical moves with modern choreography.
🎤 Karaoke Stage: Grab the mic. Hit the high note. Or don't, and do it anyway. Nobody's judging.
😂 Stand-Up Comedy: Sharp, international, very Berlin. Life in this city, told by the people who live it.
🔊 Bollywood Party: Bass-heavy, feel-good, zero standing still. The dance floor opens and doesn't close until your legs give out.
🍛 Street Food Market: Berlin's best Indian and South Asian kitchens, cooking up curries, grills, sweets and street food classics. Come hungry. Leave happy.
