2 of my buddies and I are heading to berlin for the first time in the month of august. I was wondering if there are any good festivals during that time. If so where are they located. All 3 of us are young single males looking for all the hot spots to hit in berlin. Any suggestions?

If you are in Berlin for the first weekend in August:
Berlin International Beer Festival is from August 1 to 3 and has free entry. It will be located on Karl Marx Allee and has 12 stages with music and entertainment. It is open on Friday from noon to midnight, Saturday from 10am to midnight and Sunday from 10am to 10pm. You can buy a souvenier mug for a reasonable fee and then refills are only 1.5 euros.
Check out www.bierfestival-berlin.de
In early August is the Gauklerfest (google it closer to August to get the exact dates) between Alexanderplatz and Brandenburg Gate. The address the website gives as %26quot;Am Opern palais%26quot; . It is open weekdays from 4pm and weekends from 1pm. It is a large market and has four stages of entertainment. Admission is 2.6 euros, I didn%26#39;t see any English language option on their website.
From late July to the middle of August is the German-American Fair. Check out :
www.deutsch-amerikanisches.volksfest.de
when it is closer to August. They still have the info up for 2007, so you can get an early idea of what is on tap. They have an English (or should I say %26quot;American%26quot;) language option. It looks like a fun way for 3 guys to get a bit of home while abroad.
Google %26quot;whatsonwhen%26quot; to get to a good website that features events and sights. It also has a list of bars, nightspots and restaurants. Just select %26quot;Berlin%26quot; for the city and scroll down to punch in exact dates.
