Under a Techno Parade is meant, which takes place along a specified route of movement of a larger group of people to techno music from accompanying vehicles, mostly large trucks with powerful sound systems. The most famous techno parade was the Love Parade .
Techno parades occur both in the form of apolitical techno parades (similar to a carnival or rifle parade), as well as in the form of political demonstrations . Some parades are financed through the sale of lifts and sponsors , others through donations or are self-financed by the organizers.
Since the accident at the Love Parade in 2010 , there have been no major techno parades in Germany and Austria, but there are still the Street Parade in Zurich in Switzerland.
procedure
The often colorfully decorated love mobiles gather at an agreed starting point . There are DJs on the vehicles who mix pieces of music together and powerful music systems that are powered by electricity generators . The individual support vehicles are often organized by various event organizers or techno clubs . The public can get on and ride with the car, usually for a fee. During the parade, the individual vehicles often play different styles of techno music . These are mixed together by a DJ with the help of turntables or CD players. Parade visitors have the opportunity to stop at the roadside and listen to each other car by car and possibly dance or follow a car and thus always hear the same DJ or music style. A final rally often takes place at the previously announced destination, after which the parade is over. In the evening there are usually other events known as "after parties" in local nightclubs.

Similar events
- A related parade type is the so-called EuroMayDay , which, however, is always political. These parades also include elements of classic demonstrations such as political speeches and the carrying of signs and banners. Also related to techno parades are other music parades such as the Schlagermove .
- Similar to techno parades, various electronic dance music events have also used other vehicles such as excursion boats or trams . In contrast to techno parades, which are characterized by the fact that any running audience can participate in the event, in this case only passengers on the ships or in the trams can participate by purchasing a ticket. An example of a ship parade is the Berlin Beats & Boats which has been taking place in Berlin since 2009 and consists of up to 14 floating dance floors. An event called Housetram in which a tram equipped with music systems drove through the city was organized by Monika Kruse since 1995 in Munich.
