It’s easy! Just fill out the form. You don’t need an account or to log in.

We will review your information and you will receive an E-Mail with details about the next steps within a week at the latest.

Your commitment is voluntary and priceless—but not unrewarded! As an expense allowance, we offer you food and drinks during your shift. You will also have access to some events from our community around the KdK. Additionally, you will receive a certificate and create magical memories in an engaged creative team. 

Absolutely! The briefing is mandatory for everyone. We will meet on May 18 at 5 p.m. at Café Sibylle. There you will learn everything about your assignment location, contact persons, and procedures. If you are unable to attend, just send us an E-Mail and we will find a solution!

Most Carnival heroes are always needed on the parade day (24th of May): Our Safety Heroes actively communicate with the audience and ensure safety along the parade route. As a Production Hero, you support our technical event management team. As a Host Hero, you support our guest management team at the VIP area in front of the KOSMOS.   

The street festival offers the Urban Hero position spread over 4 days. You will be mobile on the event grounds or in our information tent and answer visitors’ questions about the event.    

Yes, you can select your available days and times directly in the form. Please consider your availability carefully before signing up. You can also indicate your preference for positions, but we cannot guarantee that these will be assigned. Availability plays a primary role in the allocation of shifts.

The final shift schedule with all the details will be sent out by E-Mail at least one week before the carnival. It will also be discussed during the mandatory briefing.

That depends on your position. In general, shifts last between 4-6 hours.

Please email us immediately at volunteers@karneval.berlin in the weeks leading up to May 22. The sooner we know, the better we can reschedule. During the event days, cancellations can only be made by phone.

As part of our sustainability working group, we launched the Clean Up Day in 2024. Here, we encourage everyone in the carnival network to work together to clean up the last bits of trash along the parade route. Dressed in costumes and armed with tongs, we meet in front of Café Sibylle at 3 p.m. on Monday 25th of May and clean up as much as possible within about two hours. 

Yes, you will receive an official KdK neon vest, which you must wear during your shift. This ensures the necessary visibility. Unfortunately, you cannot keep it, but you can choose a shirt from our merchandise stock if you are interested. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes. 

You will receive the cell phone number of the Supervisor during the briefing. This person is your direct contact on site for all questions and emergencies. In addition, there will be a Telegram group to enable you to exchange ideas with the other carnival heroes.
