Overview
- Organizers of Rave The Planet confirmed on July 29 that the Technoparade will run on August 15 along Straße des 17. Juni between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column.
- The decision follows a review of plans with Berlin police and a cooperation meeting that led to small changes to the event's security and operations.
- The review was prompted by a late-Saturday Islamist-motivated attack in the Tiergarten that killed one woman and injured about 31 people and in which the attacker later died after a police shooting.
- Organizers say authorities have given no formal reason to cancel and that community input played a role in the choice to proceed.
- The parade enters its fifth edition and is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people, which will keep police and organisers engaged in ongoing planning and visible security measures ahead of the event.
