Love Parade 2008
19th July 2008 - Dortmund
Highway to Love
With the handing-over of the relay baton, the operative preparation of the Loveparade in Dortmund has entered the intensive phase – together with the City of Dortmund, fire department, police, medical services, etc., we shall clarify details on the organisation and realisation of the world’s largest party within the next few months. Among these details are the establishment of the dates and planning of the routes.
Since many dates connected with the 2008 European Football Championship, including music festivals, events, fairs, etc. have not yet been definitively set, we are now testing several dates for the Loveparade so that there will be no scheduling conflicts.
We are also testing possible routes in Dortmund in detail. Due to the immense success of the Parade in Essen with 1.2 million visitors, the logistic and operative standards have naturally increased. That is why we simply need a little more time for the planning, so as to organise the Parade as smoothly, safely and successfully as before.
