DRAGON FEST 2026 - Berlin's Pan-Asian Culture Festival

For one weekend, Wedesi opens the gates on the first pan-Asian culture festival this city has ever seen.

For a thousand years, the dragon has moved through Asia as a sign of prosperity, strength and abundance. It has opened new years, blessed new beginnings, and drawn crowds into the street. Now it arrives in Berlin.

It does not arrive quietly.

Expect drums that you feel before you hear. Expect fire in the choreography. Expect a weekend this city has been waiting for without knowing it.

The real thing. Acrobatic troupes moving to a rhythm that has opened celebrations across Asia for a millennium. Loud, physical, impossible to look away from. This is what the festival is named for and it is worth the ticket alone.

Guzheng and erhu, instruments with centuries behind them, played live. The oldest sound in the building, and the one that will bring the whole room to a stop.

The crews, the choreography, the precision that took over the world. Sharp, fast, and built to move a crowd.

Voices and sounds from Vietnam on a Berlin stage a set almost nobody in this city has had the chance to hear live. Until now.

More names dropping in the weeks ahead. Follow us so you hear it first.
