Half million dance in Berlin's Love Parade
July 13, 1996
Web posted at: 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT)BERLIN (CNN) -- Pulsating to a techno-rhythm beat, at least half a million revelers danced through Berlin's streets Saturday in the eighth annual Love Parade, billed as the world's largest rave.
Techno-pop music fans grooved along a 2.5-mile stretch of road, wearing brightly colored clothes, typical of these late night dance parties.
"The feeling here is incredible," said one bleached-blond teen from Dessau, in eastern Germany, as he pulsed to the heavy rhythm.
"It's great," raved Noboru Ushiyama, 33, of Tokyo, decked out in fluorescent green and orange.
The first parade was in 1989, with 150 people dancing behind a Volkswagen bus bearing the phrase "Peace, Happiness and Pancakes."
