Festival edition 2023
23. -25.6.2023

This festival edition was a very special one. In addition to the 25th anniversary, 48 Stunden Neukölln not only celebrated a record number of visitors, but also recorded the most festival contributions in public space since its inception.

And even more! The festival was given a completely new look, breaking away from its black and white appearance after years and blossoming in fresh, bright orange and pink. Colors, logo and appearance now stand for a lively festival that stands out in Berlin and its art scene in a colorful and daring way.

The year of records:
