Weekend Events for the Whole Family in Berlin, July 27th - 29th

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.

More Funfairs and Street Parties 

• A Cuban party, titled "Fiesta de Solidaridad" in the Stadtpark Lichtenberg, on Saturday, from 2pm (details) 

• The FEZ is turning into "Circus on the Beach" for the rest of this summer's weekends: with circus activities, beach activities and lots of fun (admission fees apply) 

• And speaking of circus... the Clown Olympics will take place at the weekend in Tempelhofer Feld (exactly here) 

• Alexanderplatz hosts, every day, the street theatre festival Berlin Lacht! - Acrobatics, clowns and more - for free , daily until August 12th 

• 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.
