A Folded Two-Sided German Music Poster (measures 23 1/4" x 33" [59 x 84 cm]) (Learn More) The Love Parade (Loveparade) was a popular electronic dance music festival and technoparade that originated in 1989 in West Berlin, Germany. Back when it was booming, the Berlin Love Parade grew from an expression of solidarity and freedom after the fall of the Berlin Wall into a giant dance music phenomenon. The Love Parade was the elixir of the early post-Communist era. The sheer size of the parade itself meant it was somewhat loosely organized at best, but once it got going in the mid-afternoon, it was an unstoppable force, crossing the city then melting into a seemingly infinite number of after-parties in clubs, flats and anywhere two people could get together. One of the most common expressions of the parade was the hedonistic clothing, brought on by the youth-loving and tolerant crowd of straight and gay participants. Often, dancers sported bright, glowing colors, including furry leg-warmers and faux-feather boas - mixed with leather and S&M styles. Half the fun was seeing how far people would push it outside of their ordinary daily lives. Of course, one big party creates one big mess, and in some cases, crime - although the Love Parade was always relatively law abiding, despite its size. As early as 1997, the Love Parade went international, with the first offshoots taking place in Sydney, Buenos Aires and Leeds. The event became a regular feature on San Francisco's calendar too, but all this came to an end in 2010 with the tragic deaths of 21 (and 500 more injured) in a "crowd crush". This prompted the organizers to declare, "Out of respect for the victims, the Love Parade will never take place again." If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
