The first few years, the festival percolated in Neukölln. But, just like a great party, it needed more space to dance and grow. Now, this colorful bash attracts a whopping 650,000 revelers who come to groove during the vibrant parade.[1]

While Friedrichshain usually hasn't been on the Karneval's general route, the 2025 parade is all set to run along the Frankfurter Allee near its borders. This shift exemplifies the festival's flexibility and eagerness to engage diverse neighborhoods in the joy of cultural appreciation.[1]
