Street Parade

The Street Parade is a techno parade in Zurich that runs along Lake Zurich. It is the largest techno party in the world and also the largest annual event, the second-largest event in the city of Zurich after Züri Fäscht and the fifth-largest music festival in the world.

The Street Parade is usually held on the second Saturday in August.

The first Street Parade took place on September 5, 1992, initiated by mathematics student Marek André Krynski and officially approved as a demonstration for love, peace, freedom, generosity and tolerance.

Since 1996, the Antiparade has been held in Zurich on the same day as an alternative to the Street Parade. The counter-parade is directed against the increasing commercialization of club culture, and its aims are similar to those of the Fuckparade in Berlin.
