Dyke* Festival Berlin

If you’re looking for a weekend filled with community, belonging, and visibility that puts all things dyke* front and center, then look no further.

Founded in 2023, DYKE* FESTIVAL BERLIN is an interdisciplinary event for lesbian, bi+, queer, and TINA (trans, inter, non-binary, agender) people, connecting and celebrating dykes* in all our glory.

This year, our vision remains the same: a weekend by and for dykes* that prioritizes artistic expression, inclusivity, reciprocity, and above all, pure dyke* joy!

We are 100% donation-based and community-run, NOT profit-driven; everything we raise goes toward the festival.

The 2026 edition will take place over the weekend of August 22–23 at “ZK/U BERLIN – Center for Art and Urbanistics” in the Moabit neighborhood. 

As always, our goal with the festival is to bring together local and international artists, thinkers, activists, and a wide range of dyke* experiences. Our program will feature workshops and panel discussions, DJ sets, drag and live performances, games, exhibitions, and markets—that is, activities co-created in real time by participants, audiences, and performers alike to express as many aspects of the dyke* experience and ingenuity as possible. Of course, beyond our curated program, there will be plenty of space tojust beand to mingle with the dykes* you know (yes, your exes will probably be there too...) and the dykes* you have yet to meet.

Who is our target audience?
We’re an event for dykes* and their friends! For those who want to deepen their appreciation of dyke*ness through shared experiences and artistic exchange, for those who want to make new connections, and for those who simply want to revel in the omnipresence of lesbian culture. Dykeness* is an identity and a lived experience that each of us embodies differently and relates to differently; every nuance is meaningful and worthy of space and celebration. If you feel connected to that in any way, we welcome you to join us :)

DISCLAIMERS:
Colonialist and transphobic attitudes are not welcome at our events, nor are any forms of racist or ableist ideas.
We have a dedicated and trained awareness team on-site throughout the festival grounds, which you’ll be able to identify by their badges. The team will be there to provide support, mediate conflicts, and ensure that everyone has a positive and respectful festival experience; don’t hesitate to approach them, as any reports or concerns will be handled confidentially.

Who is behind the project?
We are Allesbien, a lesbian collective founded in 2022 in Berlin. What we all have in common is our lesbian identity; our desire to meet other lesbians* and celebrate dyke* culture in all its forms. We do this by organizing workshops and panel discussions, a wide range of cultural outings, protests, and parties throughout the year. Our biggest event is the annual DYKE* FESTIVAL BERLIN, where we come together to showcase all the talent and fun of our community.
