We haven't recovered from the "Long Night of the Museums", and there is yet another Long Night, this time with activities for children and their families. Many of the activities are either free of charge or very cheap, but there are way too many activities, for me to even recommend. Just browse their website: you can filter activities by age, categories and district (Bezirk).
Another "Long Night" is the "Long Nights of the Books", in and around Oranienstrasse in Kreuzberg. This Long Night is mostly for adults and all about book readings, signing, etc. However, there are a couple of activities for kids as well.
Street Fairs, Block Parties, Fairs - I think you get it: this weekend is full of them!
The Britzer Mühle will open its doors to anyone interested to see how the mill works, see how the flour is being used etc. On both weekend days, for free.
Where: Buckower Damm 130 12349 Berlin
Österreichpark, a park located at the southern end of Sömmeringstraße in Chatlottenburg is celebrating its first birthday with a picnic, animals, music and more. For free.

In Schöneberg, the Primavera Fest will take place on Akazienstraße, with the regular mixture of food, music, bouncy castles and other activities to celebrate spring.
On Saturday only, the district of Treptow will celebrate the "Fest für Demokratie und Toleranz mit 15 Bands" near Bahnhof Schöneweide.
On Sunday, on the other hand, the Pfefferberg Biergarten will celebrate 170 years, from 12:00

Also on Sunday: Don't forget to vote!
If you're EU citizens, you can vote in the EU elections this Sunday. In addition, German citizens can also vote on the future of the Tempelhofer Feld. It is not clear to me why only Germans and not all legal residents of Berlin, but if you have this right - use it!
Not sure which party to vote for? Try the Wahl-o-Mat.
And after you cast your vote
Go fight --- I mean, water fight. On Sunday, in the Lustgarten, at 3 pm. Bring only environmentally friendly containers (bottles, buckets, water guns - no "water bombs" for example.
Or meet fairies - The Britzer Gardens have a fairy event on Sunday, from 2 till , including many activities for fans of the winged creatures.
And Just a Kind Reminder...
Next weekend is a four-day-weekend, again! Yippie (unless you work on Friday and have to find arrangement for the kids).
And also Shavu'ot is in the next two weeks, I promise to write about events there
A Sad Farewell...
Bambinim has been running their Kabalat Shabbath for a year now. Unfortunately, money has dried out - and unless they find new support, this Friday was the last event. Thank you Bambinim for the nice Friday!!!
Here is the farewell note.
Let's hope we'll see them again!
