San Francisco CA

Berlin's LOVE PARADE

First U.S Loveparade Planned for October... World's largest electronic music parade comes to San Francisco


SAN FRANCISCO — The world's largest electronic music festival and parade is coming to San Francisco on October 2, 2004. First held in Berlin in 1989, Loveparade San Francisco is expected to draw thousands of revelers to the Bay Area for a celebration of electronic music with a mission of fostering tolerance, respect and understanding between nations.

San Francisco has long been a desired location for huge, outdoor, eclectic events, including the worlds' largest Gay pride celebration and the famous Castro Halloween and Folsom Street Fair parties. Loveparade promises to be an event of the same caliber, drawing a colorful and diverse audience while increasing the existing tourist draw to the city.

This is the first time Loveparade has been held in the United States; similar events are regularly held in other cities around the globe, including Mexico City, Cape Town, and Tel Aviv.

The event has garnered excitement from the business community and beyond. California Assemblymember Mark Leno was among those to recently offer his congratulations on the city's acquisition of the parade, calling it a "momentous and historic" celebration. "I commend your commitment to create an international community where music, dance, love and diversity can creatively flourish."

International DJ/Producer Paul Van Dyk stated, "I was very excited when I heard that the Loveparade will take place in North America for the first time. I am sure that the positive and peaceful vibe of this event will be an extra feature in the amazing cultural life of San Francisco and is going to become an annual highlight."

The Loveparade will begin along San Francisco's scenic Embarcadero and make its way through the South of Market area. It will end along the waterfront in the newly redeveloped Mission Bay district with a daylong celebration featuring music, dancers, and a variety of vendor booths. Top local and international DJs will also be featured at the waterfront festival, as well as on the floats as they make their way along the parade route.

holy fucking hell...

i'm going to be living in san francisco proper by october, so there's no way i'd miss this. bring on the lineup!
 
^^ i signed up for the email updates thru that site so i'll try to keep everyone posted on the line up. the weird thing is that the talent for the parade is going to be handled by participating groups or collectives. im sure there'll be some pretty heavy after parties too so that'll be something to watch.

anyone in the general area that misses this is insane!

when we get closer to the date i'll start organizing a meet up:)
 
ummm my ticket was booked already last week :D I'm there!!!

more hypeness coming from me for this event as draws closer................
 
Awesome. I'm so there. I live only like 30 minutes away. Only a BART ride away :D . Does anyone know if this is a all day/night thing?
 
^^ i suggest going to the link that i provided and registering on the email mailing list. the actual event is only going to be 1/2 the party there will be dope ass club events / after parties all fucking weekend. no sleep needed. in fact, i plan on being awake every single second im in cali that weekend. *is stoked*
 
Just keep in mind it isnt 100% confirmed...there is still legalities that arent in compliance :)

I will be there for sure though if it does occur.

Woot.
 
^
actually i just spoke with a rep b/c I would like to be involved with the event and he sounded pretty 100% about it ;)
 
^ thats fine and dandy...every rep or promoter would say the same thing ;)
 
wOW i cant belive this event is taking place in my backyard basically. im sure a meetup is in order. if anyone needs any help planning im available. back when i was a moderater for events i threw some entertaing meetups. ;) i kow the area and the people. cant wait to meet some of the new faces.

-phil-

im thinking about either setting up a yahoo email list or just organizing via pm. probably the former bc people's pm boxes can fill up with sent messages.
