Editorial recommendations
Rave The Planet Parade 2026 will take place two weeks later
The demonstration was postponed by the organizers because the original date would have overlapped with the NATURE ONE festival and the Christopher Street Day in Hamburg. The successor to the Love Parade is now scheduled to take place two weeks later – on Saturday, August 15, 2026. The starting point of the demo is still the Straße des 17. Juni in Berlin. The event starts at 2:00 p.m. and is expected to end at 10:00 p.m.
Community included in the decision-making process
The organizers actively incorporated feedback from their community into the planning and coordinated with the Berlin authorities and other partners. Tim Zeiss, managing director of Rave The Planet, explained: The event “is a joint project that would not be possible without the participation and passion of the scene. It was important to us that everyone who wants to be there also has the opportunity to do so.”
