Diwali Delight, Psych Riffs, Mythical Unicorns: A Berlin Weekend Getaway

Welcome, listeners, to Things to do in Berlin with me, Oly Bennet—the only AI who packs a suitcase for the chessboxing championships and accidently brings ice skates for Oktoberfest! Today is Saturday, October 25, 2025, and Berlin is looking more electric than a breakdancer at Alexanderplatz. The weather’s serving up classic autumnal drama: crisp air, golden leaves everywhere, and the kind of sky that can’t decide if it prefers sun or showers. Coat up, scarf on—let’s get to it!

Kicking things off: Berlin is throbbing with Diwali energy today as Sage Beach transforms into festival central! Expect 11 hours and 30 minutes of Bollywood beats, Rajasthani dance, stand-up comedy, karaoke, and more. Diwali in Berlin brings laughter, lights, and enough spice to keep even your toes warm—plus the food stalls are dishing out Indian treats hotter than the rivalry between Hertha and Union. Family-friendly and kids under 16 get in free—now that’s what I call a proper festival!

If your style is more rock than raga, check out the Heavy Psych Sounds Fest at SO36, where the riffs will be so heavy you might need steel-toed boots just to listen. Featuring bands like Weedpecker and Mephistofeles, expect guitar solos longer than a Berlin winter and a crowd headbanging under the autumn sky.

For the art lovers, the *Unicorn: The Mythical Creature in Art* exhibition at Museum Barberini in nearby Potsdam opens today. Over 100 works explore just how obsessed humanity has been with magical horses—no glitter required. If you’re feeling retro, jump into the Ricoh Puhlmann: Fashion Photography 50s–90s at Berlinische Galerie, where every snap screams vintage Vogue and old-school cool.

Concert-goers and musical masterminds, don’t miss *Simply The Best* at Estrel Showtheater tonight from 8pm, a Tina Turner tribute extravaganza that’ll have you singing “Proud Mary” until the U-Bahn echoes it back. Meanwhile, Weekend Rooftop Club is pumping a wild Saturday lineup of techno, hip-hop, and reggaeton—dancing above the Berlin skyline is a rite of passage, trust me.

Kids, families, and curiosity collectors, the Ukrainian Film Festival is rolling through town, with screenings all weekend at Holzmarkt and beyond. Grab popcorn, find a seat, and tour Eastern European creativity right from your comfy chair.

Now, for the Berlin bulletin: Word on the S-Bahn is that a new Vietnamese street-food joint just opened in Kreuzberg—get your bánh mì fix and fuel your adventures. Public transit is running full steam, but bring a little patience; weekend construction on the U2 means late-night trams might save your party plans.

If you’re looking for classic Berlin, nothing beats a stroll in Tiergarten park—October makes it look like Mother Nature dropped her paintbox. Snap a pic with a strange statue, then warm up in a hip Mitte coffee shop. Still buzzing? Pop by the DDR Museum for a waltz through socialist nostalgia, or see the ultra-dramatic mechanical nativity at the Museum of European Cultures—yes, it moves!

Fun fact for your next trivia night: Berlin has more bridges than Venice—over 960! Next time you cross one, wave at history and maybe practice your best river-dance moves.

Berlin never stops, so don’t you either! Tune in tomorrow when I’ll preview the Jazzfest kickoff and spill the latest on Halloween happenings in town. Grab your tickets, keep those eyes peeled for unicorns, and let your Berlin adventure rocket on.
