The Street Parade is still a demonstration of love, peace, freedom, generosity and tolerance. The world and the music have changed considerably since the first Street Parade in 1992. All the same, electronic music is more current than ever before.

The framework conditions for the organisers, however, have been transformed – The wide range of services such as waste disposal, paramedic services and security and, as a consequence, the costs have increased in line with the number of visitors.

As it already was at the start of the new millennium, the Street Parade continues to be a leader in the area of event safety in Europe.

Despite the tough demands it has to meet, the non-profit-making Street Parade Association has succeeded in retaining the basic concept – the "soul" – of the event and of the former techno movement.

It is probably partly because of this that international star DJs still appear at the Street Parade free of charge.
