LovEvolution is, quite simply, the evolution of a tiny little event you may currently know as SF LoveFest or even Love Parade. It's the new name of San Francisco's beloved party that has become the cornerstone of our dance music movement.

It's an event unlike any other in the US. It's a full week of amazing events at every club in town. It's a parade that snakes through downtown (Market St.) and spills into the Civic Center area and taking over City Hall. It's a place for 100,000 people to dance to beats from around the world coming from dozens of trucks weighted down by speakers and tweakers and it spawns after parties of epic proportions. It's an event where people of all walks of life come together to enjoy music from top international and local talent alike. It's an event put on by a few volunteers for the whole community to enjoy. It's Love Parade turned LoveFest turned LovEvolution.

"Whether people still call it Love Parade, or Lovefest, or simply San Francisco's Love event, what matters will be the end result. That's what it has always been - a continually evolving gathering, using dance music in a parade and festival to carry forward the values of the electronic dance music scene: love, tolerance, respect, justice, community, and good times. San Francisco's Love Evolution : LovEvolution. " -Syd Gris, SF LovEvolution board member
