Festival of Light 2026 - Colours of Love.

🌟Festival of Lights - private tour💥

This is a 3 phase event. 1.) 18:30 - 19:00: Gathering at the meeting spot. 2.) 19:00 - 20:20: Exploring the illuminated landmarks. 3.) 20:30 - 22:00: Dinner/Drinks at the Kerb food court. During the festival of lights numerous landmarks such as the Brandenburger Gate, the Berlin Tower, the Berlin Cathedral, Potsdamer Platz and many more are completely illuminated. 💰 **Event fee: 2 Eur** Everyone will get a glowing stick 🎆 (choose your color) to keep the group together. **More info here:** [https://festival-of-lights.de/en/programme-2026/](https://festival-of-lights.de/en/programme-2026/) **1.) How to the find the Meeting spot:** ⚠️READ the comment section or event chat for the exact meeting spot!⚠️ From our meeting spot there we will mostly walk to all the highlights of the festival starting with the Brandenburger Gate. **2.) Exploring the illuminated landmarks:** We'll walk most of the time since all the important landmarks are in Berlin Mitte and can conveniently be reached by foot without being sandwiched in the public transportation and losing group members. The starting point is the Brandenburger Gate. **3.) How to find the Kerb food court** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7) Kerb is located at the former Sony Center. The new flagship food court of Potsdamer Platz. Most likely we will be sitting upstairs on the first floor next to the bar (take the stairs to the left). *Who is this meetup for:* 1\. Asians who want to practice German and/or English\. 2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\. 3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\. *What you can expect:* 1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\. 2\. A Walk & Talk to break the ice\. 3\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *** Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?" You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did. From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach. “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily. Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on. Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship. This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.

Festival of Lights – Opening Night Walk ✨ Social Butterfly Club 🦋

Join us for the opening night of the Festival of Lights and explore Berlin glowing in all kinds of colours! ✨ We’ll start the evening by watching the opening of the TV Tower light installation at 19:00 and then walk together through the city centre towards Brandenburg Gate, stopping along the way to admire the illuminations, take photos and enjoy the festival atmosphere. Since it’s opening night, expect it to be crowded! That’s why we have a few tricks to make sure our butterflies don’t get lost. 🦋 ### 🌈 Dress colourful! Wear a colourful jacket, coat or outfit – the brighter, the better! Not only does it fit the Festival of Lights perfectly, it also makes it much easier for us to recognise each other in the crowds. And most importantly: ### ☂️ Follow the yellow umbrella! I’ll be carrying a yellow umbrella throughout the evening. If the group starts moving, follow the umbrella! ### 📍 Our three meeting points 18:30 – CUBIX Alexanderplatz Meet us in front of the CUBIX cinema. Please come here rather than trying to find us later in the crowds. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/3nprreb1FSN7tudT9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/3nprreb1FSN7tudT9) 18:45 – We leave! We’ll walk together towards Neptune Fountain, where we want to be in time to watch the TV Tower illumination launch at 19:00. approx. 20:00 – Humboldt University / Equestrian Statue / Reiterstandbild Friedrich des Großen Our second meeting and regrouping point. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/qApajNsXNE2KGqm66](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qApajNsXNE2KGqm66) approx. 21:00 – Brandenburg Gate / in front of the Akademie der Künste Our third and final meeting point. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/S8FrB1nMTry4cnVk7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/S8FrB1nMTry4cnVk7) The later times are approximate. We’re here to enjoy the lights, not race through Berlin, so timings may change depending on the crowds and how long we stop along the way. ### 📱 Join our Festival of Lights WhatsApp Group We have a temporary Festival of Lights WhatsApp group for live updates, finding the group if you get lost and coordinating spontaneous Festival of Lights outings on other days. 👉 [https://chat.whatsapp.com/F3BJmg7Fs1J2VeSqtVJHs6?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/F3BJmg7Fs1J2VeSqtVJHs6?mode=gi_t) Joining the WhatsApp group is optional, but highly recommended. If you lose us during the walk, check the group for updates and make your way to the next official meeting point rather than trying to find us somewhere along the route. The group will stay open throughout the Festival of Lights, so if you can’t make the opening night – or simply want to see more – you may find some other butterflies to explore the festival with. 🦋✨ Colourful clothes. Yellow umbrella. Lots of lights. See you there! 🌈☂️✨ Join the Social Butterfly Club 🦋 ​Sign up for the Sunday Flutter and get: ​🦋 Handpicked event recommendations every week 📘 Access to our “Free Activities in Berlin” guide 🎉 Invitations to subscriber-only gatherings ​Sign up here: [https://socialbutterflyradar.substack.com/](https://socialbutterflyradar.substack.com/?utm_source=luma) ​Meet your host ​I’m Julia — a Berlin local who loves bringing people together. My path went from growing up in a dance school to studying philosophy to working in IT support, and somehow all of that led me here: hosting meetups and creating spaces where people can show up, relax, and connect.

Folklore aus Argentinien. Al Ándalus Events

Mit Rythmus findest du viele neue Freundschaften – mit Tanzen und der Lebensfreude der argentinischen Folklore. 💃🏻🕺🏻 Oder … warum nicht ! Trau dich, deine neue Romanze oder vielleicht sogar die Liebe deines Lebens kennenzulernen … ❤️ Zamba, Malambo und Chacarera. Während der Tango seinen Ursprung in der Stadt hat, bringen die argentinischen Volkstänze die kulturelle und künstlerische Tradition des Landesinneren zum Ausdruck. Argentinische Volkstänze zeichnen sich durch ihre einzigartige Fähigkeit aus, Geschichte, Rhythmus und körperlichen Ausdruck zu einem authentischen Fest der sozialen Verbundenheit zu verbinden. Durch die Eleganz und Feinheit des Werbens in der Zamba, die kraftvollen und mitreißenden Schritte des Malambo oder die festliche und gemeinschaftliche Energie der Chacarera vermittelt die Folklore eine tief verwurzelte kulturelle Identität, die Grenzen überschreitet und es jedem Menschen – unabhängig von seiner Herkunft – ermöglicht, sich als Teil einer gemeinsamen Tradition zu fühlen.
