Events in Berlin, October 29th - 31st

 Halloween

The weekend is packed with Halloween events (which will take place on Sunday, October 31st), but please note that some events (e.g. a big weekend event in the  Klaistow Farm) were cancelled at the last minute due to public health considerations. Keep yourself updated on the various sites what the exact requirements are (2G, 3G, etc.) and whether it is necessary to coordinate arrival in advance or it is possible to arrive spontaneously.

For those who are in their first year here, and especially for those who are used to the American version, it should be noted that this is a much, much smaller matter in Germany (in Berlin a little more big interest than in the rest of the country).  For many Germans, this is an "American" holiday, many are not even aware of it (i.e., if you trick/treat on them they may have remembered, purchased some candy and delicacies in advance and would have given something, but maybe not either); And the events, if any, focus on two target populations - the children and the fans of clubs and parties.

Some notable events worth mentioning:

• Halloween at FEZ. The FEZ does not neglect its role as the children’s play kingdom with sessions for children of all ages ahead of Halloween, including an evening event for families with older children. Saturday + Sunday

• Halloween in Karl's - As mentioned in the last two weeks, "Karl" takes Halloween with the proper seriousness, with intimidation corners, pumpkin carving workshops, and more and more. Saturday / Sunday with free admission to most events; And if we're already in the state of Brandenburg, then the "Eldorado Templin" will also have a Halloween party, on Saturday.

• Halloween activity on Saturday in Britzer Gardens (details) 

• Waldseilgarten Jungfernheide's Halloween fun run - one of the most fun events, a fun run (in different allotments), with different costumes and scares, Sunday, for a fee

• For those looking for something a little less requires prepayment or pre-arrangement (or a drive to the end of the city in the direction of Karl), the Das Schloss shopping centre and the Wilmersdorfer Strasse pedestrian shopping street will hold all kinds of activities on Saturday

• On Sunday afternoon, the Deutsche Oper will offer a special concert for children with scary songs (details)

For adults (and older teens), there are parties in almost every self-respecting club, the well-known ones in the "Weekend" and in the Kulturbrauerei, but also for example this event / party, at Mahalla Berlin - bring your costumes as inflated as possible.

• In another disposition, the "Final Girls Berlin" film festival focuses on horror films from a feminist angle; Another less conventional event is the Halloween stand-up on Women's Purity *, in English, at Ma's Comedy Club on Saturday night (details)

A place suitable for both teenagers and adults looking to scare themselves, all year round, is the Berliner Dungeon, a kind of commercial and tourist adventure site. Of course, there is a Halloween event on site.

• At the Botanischer Volkspark in Panko, Sunday will mark "Dios de los Muertos" with a Latin fiesta (details)

In addition

The first in the Christmas markets opens this week! The clearly non-traditional market in Potsdamer Platz. The market does not include an ice rink like in previous years, because of the corona, but the traditional glitch on tubing exists. Outside there are 3g rules, inside 2g.

The list will be updated after I can breathe a little, I have more to tell (-;

Until then, have a magical and sunny weekend, relative to November
