Techno Parade

Yesterday, we attended the start of the Techno Parade, an annual event featuring bass-thumping Techno music.  

There were thousands of attendees, mostly young.  They danced in the street to the deafening music.  

The parade, the 21st edition, included ten trucks pulling trailers with DJ's and large speakers pumping out the music. 

The parade started next to the Louvre, moved along the Right Bank, crossed over to the Left Bank and ended in the Place d'Italie. 

The parade included political messages, such as protecting the environment and remembering victims of police brutality.  

Below are some photos of the rolling dance clubs.  

The parade started along the Seine next to the Louvre.  You can see the Louvre in the background.

Yesterday, we stopped by another event celebrating the World Day of the Deaf, to raise awareness of deaf culture and sign language.  The event was located on the other side of the Louvre.  The timing and location seemed ironic.   

Thanks for visiting the Techno Parade with us.
