20th Zurich Street Parade

When I think of the Street Parade, words like electronic music, dancers, love mobiles and DJs come to mind.

The Zurich Street Parade happens once a year in August.  This year it is celebrating its 20th anniversary.  The motto this year is “20 years Love, Freedom,Tolerance & Respect”.

If you want to go take a look at the Love mobiles going by and at the special effects, it is better to leave your children at home and avoid taking your car around town after lunch. And take a raincoat as most Street Parade happen under some showers!

When is it?
It will be on August 13th.

When does it start?
Festivities start at 1:00 p.m. with the Parade starting at 3:15 p.m.

When does it end?
It will go until midnight.

What is the path of the Love Mobiles?
It will start on Utoquai in Seefeld and go by the Opera house, Bürkliplatz up to Enge.

The Street Parade has an official song: “Calling for Love” from the Swiss D.J. Mr. Da-Nos (Roland Bunkus).  There will be many D.Js and artists at the Parade on Saturday from France, Sweden, Uk, Germany, Netherlands and of course Switzerland.

Look at for:

• Dr. Motte and Boys Noize from Germany
• Martin Sloveig from France
• Boy George and Carl Cox from UK
• Remady and Round Table Knights from Switzerland

Boy George will be in Utoquai from 1:00 p.m. to 2:3o p.m. He got famous in the 1980’s with Culture Club with the song “Do you really want to hurt me?”

Happy 20th Street Parade!
