Weekend Events for the Whole Family in Berlin, August 10th - 12th

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) 

• 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.
