What’s it all about?

The Water Festival Berlin is a week-long celebration of UN Water Day and the importance of water in our lives, organised by the amazing people from Plan A.

Plan A wants to spotlight the importance of clean water in our rivers and lakes and its relation to the goods we consume. To help send a stronger message, they have invited Patagonia, Quartiermeister, Edible Alchemy, The Universal Sea and many Berlin-based artists to show us their perspective on the power of water.

All proceeds from the tickets will go toward RiverWatch, an NGO, that fights for the protection of European rivers and the natural environment that surrounds them.
