Last Chance: The Festival of Lights
This weekend is the last chance to catch the Festival of Lights. The festival features quite a few installations in famous buildings in Mitte (map below) and also some events, including the ADFC Light Ride: bicycles are to be decorated with light and ridden on Friday evening in Potsdamer Platz.
And speaking of transportation: On Sunday, the 10k-Berlin race will flow through City West. Cars are of course blocked (see the route). Starting in the Charlottenburg Castle, there is also a kids' race, at 11:30 . Late registration only in the morning in the race itself.
The Season of the Witch
Halloween is coming up and there are already a few events at the weekend.
- Horror Nights in the Filmpark Babelsberg on Friday and Saturday. This scary event is only for older kids (really older: aged 16 and up).
- The really big event this weekend for those who cannot wait till Halloween is at Karl's Erdbeerhof in Elstal, with scary food, rides and much more. By the way, next week and the one after that, Karl will offer their "Scary Nights", which are usually overbooked if you don't buy well in advance.

Children Cultural Month
October is the Children Cultural Month, with many events in museums, theatres and other cultural institutions. Unfortunately, many are overbooked.

Some recommended events with officially free spots:
- Make your own book in Galerie im Körnerpark on Saturday, for kids aged 7-12
- Create your own fantasy creature in Popcorner Projektraum on Saturday, for kids aged 8-12
