Touted as one of the main events to take place in the genre worldwide after the
cancellation of the seminal Berlin Love parade bacause financial & sponsorship
probs, the second RioParade is awaited on May 30 with the aim of attracting more
than 500,000 people.
DJ's and clubs from all over the world will
again converge in Rio to promote dance music as universally inclusive. Sound
system floats with top DJ's will make their way through the streets before
congregating in front of a huge stage in Cinelândia Square. Clubs/promotions
involved include Space Ibiza, Ministry of Sound, Parada da Paz, Planet Groove,
Tresor, Movement and Rex Club (Paris).
The Parade will start at the Praça da
República on the Avenida Presidente Vargas. From there the Lovemobiles will move
in direction of the Igreja da Candelaria and then turn into the Avenida Rio
Branco, which was the original route of the world famous carnival. At the end of
Avenida Rio Branco, on the Cinelândia Square will be the final party.
The main stage is going to be located in front of the Câmera Municipal do Rio de
Janeiro and offers a beautiful scenery for the ending of the RioParade.
Along the whole route, there will be several dancing stages, screens and
attractions. The RioParade will be free of charge.
