Funfairs and Street Parties
- 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)
- 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.
