Pride 2018
Obviously, the most important party/parade is the CSD Berlin, the Pride Parade on Saturday. It will start in the KuDamm at 12:00 and will end in the Brandenburg Gate . The colourful parade will also block the Schoeneberg / 17th of June area, so FYI, no car in City West , unless you're really into being told to turn around by the coppers (which is OK, after all, the whole point of this parade is to celebrate that whoever you are and what you prefer to do with the police, you are an equal member of the society).
This huge parade will also feature a children area, around Brandenburg Gate, with a children programme starting at ca. 3 pm.

- Another festival that will take place daily until August 19th is the German-American-Funfair (Deutsch-Amerikanisches Volksfest). The location is a bit off the city centre, to say the least: in Marienpark, which is about 15 minutes walk from either S Attilastr or U Alt Mariendorf. There is an admission fee, but it is in fact converted into chips for rides.
