Events in Berllin for the Weekend of October 22-24th

 Sportscene

Some sporting events take place this weekend, and are also suitable for spectators (and hopefully, also for potential * participants *, some of whom can also register at the last minute). 

  • For those who prefer to run with obstacles (or watch others wallowing in the mud), there is the Cross Challenge race (also on Sunday at Döberitzer Heide, including a run for children and youth and one for beginners, starting from 8:45, different times - in different races) . Arrival: Bus 638 from Spandau station 
Mud is healthy

Not out yet, but you can already skate!

  • Not exactly a sport, but quite outdoors (and important for drivers too): a huge environmental demonstration on Friday in the entire Potsdamer Platz area and the borough. Info


Indoors


Although this weekend is not really cold (and is supposed to be dry or dryi-ish), there are several cool things to do indoors, for those of you who don't believe "there is no bad weather".  Short and impressive selection: 

  • The "Komische Oper" offers a new-dangling opera for children called Die Zaubermelodika, which is of course a kind of parody (or tribute) to "The Magic Flute". Premiere on Sunday, at 16:00 ( details and tickets )
  • For kids and teens who feel more Berghain than Philharmonic, the KAHO in Karlshorst offers a workshop on how to learn how to be a DJ. In Berlin it's more of a future profession than a programming course, right? (Sunday, 14:00, info)
  • Anime and manga festival at the Messe. I always hesitate to recommend these events, because they are usually commercial bore with insane prices, but since there are sure to be manga-fans in the general public, for your consideration ( details )
  • And really only for adults: Cannabis Fair at the Arena with different and weird (legal) products from the plant ( details )
    • And if you're looking for a legal option to get all hazy, you are invited instead to Collabfest, with different and weird beers at BrewDog Berlin Mitte every weekend ( details )




I ain't afraid of no ghost  


Because Halloween is approaching and although there will really be loads of recommendations (even for adults) for next week's post, there are already some seasonal sessions this week: 

  • Online workshop (for those who are afraid to leave the house) of pumpkin design for children, Saturday, 15:00 ( info)
  • On Saturday and Sunday, the children's theatre in Trapto Park will offer a "family experience" with "the ghost in the puppet theatre" with "black light" lamps. From age 3 and up ( details ) 
Ghost in the Puppet Theater

  • In Karl's Strawberry Village they continue with the plan for Halloween, with lite intimidation, pumpkin design and the like. On Saturday night a real "Spooky Night" is planned, but unfortunately, all tickets are sold out ( details )


  • The Das Schloss Shopping Mall in Steglitz will offer various activities on Friday, Saturday and next week, including a mystery game (look for the treasure), intimidation in VR, and monsters that roam free in the mall. 
  • For older youth (and adults), there is a Fantasy Film Festival at Kulturbrauerei ( details )

Somewhat Jewish


  • Breeding like zombies, but this time it's got nothing to do with Halloween, but stand-up evenings with a Jewish orientation in Berlin: 


  • And if you are looking for more interesting events in the Israeli and Jewish context: 
    • On Saturday, I will tour again (in German and for free) a tour on the Jewish history of the "Mühlenviertel" area in Prenzlauer Berg, at 15:00 ( details )
