The organizers of San Francisco Love Parade & San Francisco LoveFest are pleased to announce the evolution of America's biggest dance music event : LovEvolution. An event born of the original Love Parade event in Berlin now carried over into going on 6 years of love events in our own city of love, San Francisco LovEvolution : A Dance Music Parade & Festival will carry it's beautiful beat back to the thousands who come to dance in the spirit of tolerance, respect, peace, justice, and yes evolution, and - yes love. Definitely time to evolve.

Why the name change?
There is another dance music event called 'The Love Festival' in LA, which San Francisco LoveFest had been peacefully co-existing with for a few years now. The promoter for that show felt there was too much brand confusion between our events, (the name of which they've trademarked). So, to avoid legal action, we agreed to evolve our name. We are still the same event thrown by the same team as the original Love Parade San Francisco back in 2004, so you can expect the same unique and wonderous celebration we've always had - call it what you want.

We've had to roll with some other changes this year as well (like a $10 entrance to the Civic Center Plaza festival). To get the full scoop please see the Details page

Last year over thousands peacefully enjoyed the parade down Market St and the festival at Civic Center. 30+ floats rocked every style of beat and we raised money for a myriad of non-profit organizations. We look forward to evolving this love with you. Or as Dr Motte might put it:
THIS IS OUR FUTURE. OPEN YOUR HEART ... FREE YOUR MIND ... FACE YOUR FEARS... LIVE YOUR SOUL ... DANCE!"

San Francisco LovEvolution exists to produce a celebration of the highest forms of electronic music culture and technology, in the belief that dance promotes peace, love, unity and respect.

The purpose of this organization is to serve the electronic dance music community by organizing public events, presenting electronic art forms, generating funds to support artistic development, advancing music education & production, as well as the right to dance and educating the public regarding the rights and contributions of our community.

The San Francisco LovEvolution is dedicated to giving back to the community, with a portion of proceeds going to participating non-profit organizations. This year's event is a continuity of past events, with a parade down Market St and festival at Civic Center plaza. A celebration of music, love, diversity, tolerance, dance, and community. Dance music has always had a special ability to bring people together in the shared beauty of a universal vibe. Our community by and large remains 'underground' in U.S. pop culture due to very little support from radio and MTV, etc. We know that in a culture awash in conflict, materialism, superficial concerns, and greed, an event of this kind can lift the spirits and the hopes of those who to surrender to it's power. The power of dance. The power of music. The power of community. We do not dance in the streets to escape the reality of our times - we dance to face them as a community, pointing the direction to a better way, set to beats and the full color of our expression. We gather to inspire and motivate social action by us, the youth, the people who will inherit this mess and have to do something about it to turn the tide. We intend to make the event a platform for dance music to reach more ears in America and beyond, to carry a message of love and hope, to be a vehicle for helping organizations doing good in the world, and for dancing our asses off surrounded by friendly freaks.
