Street Parade Saturday 8th August 2026
This year the 33rd Street Parade will take place on Saturday 8th August – so expect a real party! Regarded as the world’s biggest techno party, people flock from all over Europe to attend this FREE event. It is always very entertaining with more than 200 national and international artists attending, playing on nine stages throughout Zurich and on around 30 Love Mobiles too! The Love Mobiles are large floats which pass through town (the centre of the city is closed to traffic) playing loud music with people dancing as they go by.
The motto “Together We Move” embodies what makes this day so special: movement happens when people pull together toward a common goal, learn from one another, grow together, and treat each other with mutual respect.

Zurich’s Biggest Street Techno Party
The Swiss may appear quite staid most of the time, but when it comes to Street Parade they sure know how to party! Not only do many people dress up in costume, paint their faces, wear masks and wigs, but the event is full of music, DJs, dancing and fun. It does tend to get very busy though and there will be stages full of performers in Sechselaeutenplatz in Bellevue. And crossing the bridge from Bellevue to Bürkliplatz is something you cannot do in a hurry! Street Parade always starts at 1pm and continues until midnight!
Love Mobiles, Dancing and Singing
In fact all the streets tend to get very packed and the floats are buzzing with music followed by hundreds of dancing and singing revellers. So if you plan on having fun on Saturday 9th August why not go along, get dressed up, let down your hair down and enjoy? Come rain or shine it is bound to be a fun event! See below the line up for the Love Mobiles and Stages.
