On Saturday, the Straße des 17. Juni becomes a sound system.

Rave The Planet returns for its fifth edition — 34 floats and 300+ artists, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Großer Stern and back. Free. Legally a demonstration rather than a party for electronic music as cultural heritage against dance bans.

Two practical things. It's forecast at 34°C, the hottest day of the week. And there is no parking anywhere near Tiergarten.

Water and the U-Bahn. That's the whole plan.

Wednesday evening, the sun over Berlin goes 85% dark.

It starts at 19:15, peaks at 20:08, and sets at 20:38, still eclipsed – nowhere in Germany sees it finish. The next German eclipse is 2027 and only a fifth as deep.

Then the part almost nobody realises: because a solar eclipse only happens at a new moon, that same night is completely moonless. And it's the Perseid maximum. Fifty to seventy meteors an hour away from streetlights.

Eclipse until about 21:00, looking west. Meteors from 23:00 looking northeast.

Please don't look at the sun directly. A pinhole in a piece of card projected onto paper works – so does a kitchen sieve. Otherwise proper glasses, ISO 12312-2. The Zeiss-Großplanetarium is giving them out free from 17:00 that evening, and Fielmann has them at 99 cents.

Two things end in Berlin this week.

DURCHLÜFTEN plays its final three nights at the Humboldt Forum — Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Two concerts and a DJ set each evening in the Schlüterhof courtyard, music from all over the world, completely free. No ticket, no booking. Then it's gone until next summer.

And on Friday night, the Volksfestsommer sends up the last fireworks of the summer, around 22:00. Free to get in.

Then the heat arrives — 32°C Thursday, 33°C Friday. Which is either a problem or an instruction, depending on how close you live to a lake.

The full week — every event with times, prices and the nearest station, plus this week's best deals in Germany — is in today's Berlin Brief. Free, every Sunday.
