		From its beginning in post war Berlin, the Berlinale was always designed to be an international rather than a national film festival.

Festival		Love Parade Berlin
		German techno guru Dr. Motte and 150 of his closer friends started the rave in 1989. They met at Berlin's 'Ku'damm' to celebrate a party and to demonstrate for tolerance and love.

Event		Berlin Marathon
		Another way of doing sightseeing? Here's one: If you stay the distance of the 42 km Berlin Marathon course, it will show you all the major sights!

Festival		Carneval in Germany
		In Germany, Mardi Gras ('Fasching') is also known as the fifth and foolish season ('die närrische Zeit'). It is a time of elaborate parades, masks, balls and election of Carnival king and queen and officially sanctioned madness.
