Every 1^st May Kreuzberg unites for one big party. Last year we had already covered the extraordin­ary people who make the MyFest hap­pen every year. They’re mostly respons­ible for the good time every­body has dan­cing, eat­ing and simply enjoy­ing the kick off for a new sum­mer sea­son. This year though, we didn’t spend a lot of time at the MyFest. Instead, our flat on Skal­itzer Straße invited all of our friends over to hang around on our make­shift sum­mer bal­cony right on Skal­itzer Straße. From here we had the best view on the people who were strolling around the Kreuzberg Kiez from one Open Air rave to the next.

Need­less to say, we had an amaz­ing time far off from riots or dis­turb­ances. The music was top notch as always, people were drunk by 2 PM and every­one had a pretty awe­some time. We’re already look­ing for­ward to the next May­day which is kinda like a Sum­mer ver­sion of New Year’s Eve: finally, people are out on the streets again. This is the Ber­lin we love.
