DESCRIPTION: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. For more information
