The Looney Tunes Sportparty comes to Berlin! During the great celebrations at the opening of the new US Embassy in Berlin children can expect an entertainment program loaded with games, events and lots of fun with the Looney Tunes. The Looney Tunes Sportparty will take place at the public Amerikafest 2008 on July 5 at Pariser Platz and around the Brandenburg Gate.

The new embassy at Pariser Platz 2 will be officially opened by former US President George Bush senior, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and approximately 4.500 guests at the annual Independence Day reception on 4th of July. Ambassador William R. Timken, Jr. emphasized the historical significance, since the embassy is returning to the site where the old embassy was located. 1931 the United States government bought the old Palais Blücher at Brandenburg Gate, which has been demolished. In October 2004 they broke ground for the construction of the new American Embassy.

July 5, one day after the official opening, all citizens of Berlin will be able to celebrate the historic event. At the big Amerikafest 2008 an attractive program with live music acts by Jocelyn B. Smith, Oscar Loya and Latest Edition will entertain the visitors.

Martina Kressler, is the children’s dance expert at ADTV and the „creator“ of the Looney Tunes Sportparty parcours. She is planning to get thousands of kids to move together with her colleagues and will make sure the kids in Berlin learn how to dance to the new Looney Tunes songs: “It is so important to impart the joy to move to children. For this reason the Sportparty exercises are designed to give children that normally do not like to exercise a sense of achievement.”
