August is waving goodbye, and with the end of summer, Berlin is slowly filling up again. Before next week’s art events take over the city, the coming days invite you to celebrate, indulge, and take part — from parties to solidarity dinners, from high tea to quiz nights. On Saturday (30.08.2025), the evening kicks off with the opening of Flōat Studio in Kreuzberg. The new space combines Pilates and yoga classes while also creating a place for community gatherings of all kinds — from after-work get-togethers to studio dinners. Later that night, Toy Tonics is hosting their Summer Jam at Aeden: four dance floors, 25 DJs, 17 hours of partying — grab tickets here. On Thursday (04.09.), einBuch.haus opens its doors for Quotes about Books from Books about Books by Norwegian artist Sveinn Fannar Jóhannsson. The exhibition combines artist book, reading room, and archive: 148 quotes from publications of the past five decades are brought together, complemented by readings and installations that reconsider the book as a political, aesthetic, and participatory object. The following Sunday (08.09.), Bistro Spumante is hosting a solidarity dinner for Afghanistan. Expect vegetarian and meat dumplings, and ice cream for dessert. All proceeds go directly to people affected by deportations. And one more date to mark down: Thursday (19.09.), Bag of Weasels Quiz Night at Desi Diner. Gather four to five friends, form a team, and quiz for prizes. Good food, good drinks, good cause: proceeds will support the Shwaikh family in Gaza. A small reminder of just how much is possible in this city — together and for each other.
