Rave the Planet Parade 2025

Join tens of thousands of dancers, DJs, and activists for the 2025 edition of Rave the Planet Parade — Berlin’s largest techno demonstration, combining music, movement, and message.

Held on Saturday, July 12, 2025, this free event is a cultural-political march through Berlin’s historic city centre. What began as a revival of the legendary Love Parade has grown into an international gathering promoting peace, sustainability, diversity, and the official recognition of electronic music as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Organised by Dr. Motte and the team at Rave the Planet gGmbH, the 7 km-long procession features rolling sound systems, artist-led floats, costumes, and open-air dancing, turning the capital into a moving dancefloor for one day only.
