Quote of Support from Loveparade Berlin Founder Dr Motte
"If you had experienced the Loveparade in San Francisco the last 2 years and have tasted the Rapture at its heart, then you will know something of what is coming. The new San Francisco LoveFest experience is at the very heart of the dance culture phenomenon that is spreading rapidly and unstoppable around the world. It is about LOVE and it is about FREEDOM. It is about remembering Who We Really Are and why we are here. The San Francisco LoveFest itself is part of a much wider personal, social and spiritual transformation-revolution which will utterly change our world over the coming decades. Our very ideas about who we are and what we are capable of are about to be turned upside down. With this next evolution of the event, we are about to take a step into a different future in which all that is best and most beautiful in the human soul will find the right conditions to flower.
THIS IS OUR FUTURE. OPEN YOUR HEART ... FREE YOUR MIND ... FACE YOUR FEARS... LIVE YOUR SOUL ... DANCE!"
- Dr. Motte, Founder: Loveparade Berlin
Our Values and Intention
The San Francisco LoveFest is an volunteer non-profit organization. Any profits made from the event go back into next year's event and to participating non-profit organizations. This year's event is a new event that takes into account our alignment with the original vision of the Loveparade events, our experience throwing them the last 2 years, and makes it our own. That vision of a free parade that celebrates music, love, diversity, tolerance, dance, and community is something we believe in strongly, and believe America needs now more than ever. 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're taking it to the streets letting the vibe and the cooperation and respect of the people taking part in it be a message of hope in dark times. 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. See you in the streets.
