Love Parade or Octoberfest
Berlin hosts the Loveparade every summer starting from 1989. Here are the facts from the previous years, history of the Love Parade.
Do:
- Take breaks and don’t overstress yourself.
- Wear solid footwear, a sun-shield on your head, carry sun block lotion and drink lots of water.
- Please stay on the ground (as opposed to climbing street lights).
- Eat a well-balanced breakfast the day of the parade. Pack some nuts and fruit, bread and cheese - be creative.
- Carry a backpack. You can be well prepared with sun protector cream, bottled water (plastic please!), your camera, food, etc.- make a list!
- Prepare to dance all day. Do some warm-up exercises before- it helps! Have some rest now and then, the park is beautiful (remember though to take care of it!)
- Enjoy the moment. Don’t be in a rush. The parade is there all day and all evening for everyone to enjoy.
- Treat others with the same respect that you expect for yourself.
- The music takes you higher. Dancing makes you higher. Show your love, not drug indulgence. Show your smile, show your body, show your aliveness!
Don’t:
- Don’t use alcohol and drugs. They are bad thirst quenchers. On the contrary, they dry out your body and you run the risk of fainting.
- Don’t buy illegal drugs at the Loveparade. You never know for sure what will be shoved into your hands.
- Don’t stomp on bushes, don’t climb up trees.
- Don’t start fires and keep your fingers off the plants and flowers.
- Don’t bring glass bottles or cans with you. Instead, use plastic bottles.
- There will be portable toilets available, so please don’t … well, you get the point.
