Berlin's new May day festival a success.

This year's 1st of May festival was a celebration of all that is exciting in Berlin - excluding the fists. For years the 1st of May protests moved through Kreuzberg 36 in Berlin bringing violent confrontations with police and shopowners.

Now, after just three years in the making the Kreuzberger Myfest stands firmly in the way of the protests (literally), whilst at the same time celebrating the many facets of Berlin life. This year's festival included 19 stages of music and dancing throughout the day in the Oranienplatz and Mariannenplatz areas.

As can be seen below, many protesters were forced to stay peaceful and join the celebrations instead - as much as the attitude levels allowed it ofcourse! al
