Events Berlin's calendar is loaded with annual fairs, festivals, concerts and parties. The Berlin Film Festival, the third largest in the world, is held in February. Christopher Street Day is the city's big gay parade, which hits the streets in June, while the techno Love Parade goes doof in early July. Jazz Fest Berlin doo-bops in November and Christmas Markets are held throughout the city in the month before the big day.Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival The Berlinale takes place every February, with screenings held in various cinemas located citywide. All details are widely advertised in the press and by the festival organisers in the weeks prior to the event. Although aimed mostly at industry professionals, that doesn't stop the whole city going film-mad for two weeks in February. Christopher Street Day Arguably the best of Berlin's rash of summer street parades, Christopher Street Day commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots on Christopher St in New York which sparked off the modern gay liberation movement. Upwards of 70 wagons and accompanying paraders prance, pose and sashay their way from the Kurfürstendamm to Tiergarten, finishing with a grand circle around the Victory Column. Love Parade Once a year on a given Saturday in early July a large number of the world's party-goers gather to celebrate the now legendary Love Parade. Having moved to Strasse des 17. Juni, this street party, which started in 1989 on the Ku'damm as demonstration for love, has ballooned into the biggest Techno/Dance party in the world, attracting hedonists from all corners of the earth. Excessive amounts of bare flesh are exposed as the parade, comprising of approximately 1 million fun seekers (all with their own whistles) dancing on the back of lorries (some 250 in all) and on the street, makes its way up and down Strasse des 17. Juni and round the Großer Stern at the Victory Column in the middle of Tiergarten. Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmärkte) Christmas markets are held all over Germany in the run up to the night itself, and are inevitably bustling with locals and tourists, full of Christmas cheer in the form of Glühwein, roast chestnuts and gingerbread. In between such warming fare, there are plenty of traditional decorations and other Christmas paraphanalia for the eager shopper. In Berlin, markets are held on Alexander Platz, on Unter den Linden near the Opera House, and around the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. On Advent weekends, the alternative/ecological Christmas market is held along Sophienstr in Mitte. The old centre of Spandau is also host to its own Christmas market, reputedly the biggest in Europe. |
