The world's largest electronic music festival triumphantly returns to San Francisco on Saturday, September 24, 2005.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2005 -- The world's largest electronic music festival triumphantly returns to San Francisco on Saturday, September 24, 2005. Mark your calendars now for what promises to be one of the pre-eminent electronic music events in the world.

A full Loveweekend" of festivities is planned, beginning Friday, September 23rd and running through Sunday, September 25th, with the main event-the Loveparade-on Saturday, September 24th. This years event promises to be even bigger and better, with an expected 75,000 attendees marching up San Franciscos Market Street to Loveparades new festival location at the Civic Center.

Unlike any parade the City has seen, the Loveparade is a no spectators" event, with revelers encouraged to dress outrageously and dance alongside floats for the entire length of the route. Founded in Berlin in 1989, the event has grown to over 1.5 million attendees by 2000, with Mexico City, Santiago de Chile, and Tel Aviv all playing host to international Loveparades.

Loveparade San Francisco 2004 was an extraordinary event, with over 37,000 revelers from all over California, across the US, and as far away as Europe, Australia and Asia attending the City's biggest new event. 30 Floats carried over 220 DJs spinning house, techno, trance, new school breaks, drum and bass, jungle, and underground hip hop-including some of the most renowned names in the business.

Loveparade San Francisco was just named best new music festival by the San Francisco Weekly in its 10th anniversary Best of San Francisco 2005" edition, which hit the stands this week. The event was also voted runner-up for Best 2004 International One-Off Event" by URB Magazine and its readers, and was nominated for Best 2004 Dance Event at the Winter Music Conferences 2005 International Dance Awards, held in Miami, Florida this past March.
