Folsom Europe runs in Berlin from 10 to 13 September 2026. The organisers give the street fair two slots this year: Friday 11 September from 18:00 to 21:00, and Saturday 12 September from 12:00 to 21:00. It fills Fuggerstraße and Welserstraße in Schöneberg, with the main stage on Fuggerstraße, and the organisers expect more than 20,000 people.
The fair is the visible part of a long weekend that mostly happens indoors, in the bars of the surrounding quarter and in party venues across the city. Our event page for Folsom Europe 2026 carries the dates and the location.
There is no ticket for the fair
Donations are collected at the entrances instead, and the organisers pass the money on to community projects. In 2025 the fair raised 84,880 euros, which went to 35 organisations in seven European countries. Individual parties over the weekend are ticketed separately.
Where it happens
Fuggerstraße sits inside the Regenbogenkiez, the few blocks around Nollendorfplatz that hold most of Berlin's gay bars, so the fair takes place on the doorstep of the scene rather than on a festival site outside it. Prinzknecht is at Fuggerstraße 33, on the fair street itself. Hafen, Heile Welt and the bookshop Prinz Eisenherz are on Motzstraße a few minutes away, and the Axel Hotel Berlin is on Lietzenburger Straße, a walk to the west. The sauna Der Boiler on Mehringdamm and the darkroom Lab.oratory are in Kreuzberg, a few U-Bahn stops away.
One thing to plan for: the street fair happens on an open public street, not on a closed site, so the surrounding blocks stay in normal use while it runs. Anyone building a trip around the weekend will find the legal and safety background for the country on our Germany page.
