Every year in Zürich huge crowds assemble for the Street Parade - one of the largest festivals in Switzerland and one of the most attended festivals in Zürich city.
Basically Street Parade is a giant excuse for the scantily clad and mostly declad to strut their stuff on "Love Mobiles" in front of nearly a million people to techo, dance and other such modern "music" which is beyond a man of my means.
If you hate crowds, hate techno, hate too many nearly-naked people, you'll hate Street Parade. Otherwise, do turn up.
