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!

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.
