I wonder if anyone can tell me what sport events, concerts, festivals etc is in Berlin during this time? Do you know any good sites where I can search information? I have already used google, but have not found any good resources.

The Berlin tourist information website has a seachable event database, as well as a 7-day event download (right-hand column):

You can also take a look at: (www.whatsonwhen.com). It's a world-wide site, so it may be of use for other travels as well. Gary
Thank you for the links, I will have a look at them.
Go to my VT homepage, go to the travel page " Berlin,DE ", things to do tip, and you find my tip how to search for events
Ride the 100 bus: it'll get you to all the places that are worth a visit- all the way from the Zoo train station to Alexanderplatz.
Get of at the 1st stop: the Gedachtniskirche- absolutely a 'must see'! Then go to the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate, walk along 'Unter den Linden', if you want go to the top of the TV tower on Alexanderplatz (it costs ab. 10DM)
Its a section of the wall & with ca. 1,3 km the longest gallery in the world with more than 100 paintings by artists from all over the world.
Address:
East Side Gallery - Muehlenstrasse
U/S-Bahnhof Ostbahnhof / Warschauer Strasse
Take a trip to Spandau (approx. 30 min by train). Nice old village with a genuine German touch. Officialy a part of Berlin, but don't let the locals hear that. They like to see it as a seperate town.
This wooden cross on my picture stood on the western side of Ebertstraße between Branderburg Gate and Reichstag. It commemorated death of Heinz Sokolowski from Frankfurt/Oder (East Germany) who was shot on the wall by East German border guards at age 47 on November 25, 1965.
There was the inscription on the cross: "Heinz Sokolowski 48 J. Ost-Berlin + 25.11.65 nach 7 Jahren DDR-Haft erschossen auf der Flucht." I was a little surpriced because the name Sokolowski ("ski" at the end) sounded more Polish or rather Slavic than German. Poland and Germany had common history and partly territory and population of both countries mixed in the past.
GENESIS
Over 2.6 million of East Germans escaped to West Berlin or West Germany from 1949 to 1961.
Many people suffered repressions of the Communist regime or wanted to live a better life in the West.
The East German communist government put to power in real by Soviet Union authorities decided to build the wall to prevent from escaping to the West via West Berlin and closed the border between East and West Berlin on August 13, 1961.
A original irish pub in the middle of Berlin.
Sit at the open fireplace and enjoy fish and chips with a pint of guiness. In summer sit outside under palm (no irish palm) and enjoy the spirit of Berlin
Open every day at 5 pm Be yourself
