The Drag Summer Festival in the Botanical Garden Berlin

A new, late summer cultural event is casting its shadow: "Queens & Flowers", the drag summer festival, is taking place for the first time in the green south-west of Berlin.

The who's who of the German-speaking drag scene and local Berlin stars have announced their attendance.

On the open-air spaces around the greenhouses of the Botanical Garden, floral splendor and drag art merge into a celebration of queer culture for everyone who cares about diversity.

The focus of "Queens & Flowers" is on drag culture, which is now also celebrated outside the LGBTIQ* community. This focus not only offers first-class entertainment, but also makes a socio-political statement.

Visitors can look forward to a varied program - with family activities in the afternoon, guided tours of the greenhouses and various show and music acts in the middle of the garden:

SchwuZ DJ Gitti Reinhardt will provide relaxed beats on the terrace at the Great Tropical House, while there will be a drag queen reading hour and workshops for kids on painting with plant paints. Two top-class drag shows and a concert by singer Jade Pearl Baker on the stage at the Liegerasen invite you to enjoy drag art in the summer garden.

Food trucks and an open-air cocktail lounge will be available for your physical well-being. Guides from the Botanical Gardens will give tours of the most popular greenhouses and talk about cacti, cocoa trees and tropical flowers.
