Love/Fuck Parades in San Francisco October 2nd
"The Love is Coming"
"Music... speaks in thousands of languages and is
understood by all... it has no borders and no
nationality!" Dr. Motte, founder of the the Berlin Love
parade has said.
The Love Parade came to San Francisco on October
2nd, 2004. The Love Parade is one of the world's largest dance music
festivals, and this was the US debut. The parade started in downtown at Market and Beale Streets, near Embarcadero BART. Organizers planned for the parade to being at 2pm. The parade proceeded along the Embarcadero waterfront to 3rd Street and ended at Terry Francois Blvd (just across the bridge from SBC Park, off of 3rd Street) for a post-parade festival. This festival was planned to last until approximately 9pm, although it was quite chilly by 6pm. The floats and DJs that took part in the parade were all present at thre festival. Prior to the Love Parade, organizers were promising 29 floats of electronic dance music madness,
with over 200 confirmed djs and live acts. This was a
fully permitted, all day, all ages event.
Coincidentally, the Fuck Parade also came to America for the first time on the same day as the Love Parade. "Music...that stands up for liberation and against the state is as universal as commercial exploitation of culture...no person is illegal, no party is illegal." Dr. Muff, Founder of the Berlin Fuck Parade. The Fuck Parade was started as an attempt to take the party back from the commercial/mainstream elements that the Love Parade represented. Organizers said to expect music on the harder side, the sound of the underground. The Fuck Parade was scheduled to gather at the end of the Love Parade. "We love to cum, we fuck to survive!"
