Цюрихтегі Техно-Шолу: Әзірбайжанның Ең Ірі Фестивалі

Technoparade in Zürich, Switzerland

The Street Parade is with over 1 Million visitors the most attended technoparade in the world, since the end of Love Parade 2010. It takes place in Zürich, Switzerland and is the largest annual event in Zürich. Officially a demonstration for freedom, love and tolerance attended by up to one million people, it proceeds along the side of Lake Zurich on the second Saturday of August.

Since 1996, the event is organized by the Verein Street Parade (Street Parade Association). Today, the Street Parade has all the character of a popular festival, however legally it is still a political demonstration. This frees the organisation of security costs, among all else that the city takes under its charge.

According to the official website, "The Street Parade is still a demonstration that calls on everyone to live together in peace and tolerance."

Since 1996 the counterparade Antiparade takes place in Zürich on the same day as the Street Parade to provide an alternative to it. Similar to the Fuckparade in Berlin, the goal of this smaller technoparade is to demonstrate against the increasing commercialisation of club culture.

In spite of the fact, that climbing is no element of techno culture and is also illegal at Street Parade, it is very common at this event to climb on traffic light poles and other suitable objects. Interestingly, there is a taverne in Zürich, in which a drinking game is performed whereby climbing is an essential element , but there is against the opinion of some people no connection between this taverne and Street Parade.
