Overview

• Organizers had projected 300,000 attendees for Berlin’s fourth Rave the Planet, but intermittent rain limited the crowd to a six-figure turnout by Saturday evening.
• Thirty-five floats with roughly 290 artists traversed Straße des 17. Juni under the demonstration banner “The Future is Now,” underscoring a message against hate and division.
• Authorities maintained Tiergarten road closures until Sunday morning and kept the Brandenburger Tor U- and S-Bahn station closed since Saturday midday to secure the route.
• About 1,000 police officers supported by 600 security personnel and up to 300 medical helpers oversaw the largely peaceful event.
• Organizers enforced bans on glass bottles and pyrotechnics and have scheduled an enhanced post-parade cleanup in the Tiergarten to reduce environmental impact.
