Dyke* Festival Berlin

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

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

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

We are 100% donations-based and community-run, NOT profit-driven; everything we make goes towards the festival.

The 2026 edition is taking 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 connect local and international artists, thinkers, activists and a wide range of dyke* subjectivities. Our program will feature workshops and panel talks, 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 to just be and 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 group?
We are an event for dykes* and their friends! For those who want to further appreciate dyke*ness through shared experiences and artistic exchange, for those who want to make new connections, 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; each nuance is meaningful and worthy of space and celebration. If you feel connected with that in any way, we are welcoming you to join :)

DISCLAIMERS:
Colonialist and transphobic attitudes are not welcome in our events, nor are any kinds of racist and ableist ideas.
We have a dedicated and trained awareness team on-site throughout the festival space, which you will be able to identify by its badges. The team will be there to provide support, mediate conflicts and ensure that everyone has a positive and respectful festival experience; do not hesitate to approach, as any reports or concerns will be handled with confidentiality.

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