Weekend Events for the Whole Family in Berlin, Feb 17th through 19th

Carnival

Berlin has its own small Fasching Carnival. It is nothing in comparison to what you see in Cologne, Mainz or Duesseldorf, but nevertheless, it's a party. The parade will begin on Sunday at 11:11 in Olivaer Platz and will end at about 3 pm in the Breitscheidplatz. Except for the different troupes, you will also get many candies thrown at!
